      It makes a lot more sense when you realize just how many of America’s stated ideals are completely made up. We have the most freedom despite having the largest prison population in the world and one of the highest incarceration rates. We are the wealthiest country in the world but apparently cannot afford basic social programs for our citizens. We are the safest country in the world despite having a mass shooting every 5 seconds. Most of what people love to brag about in regards to America’s greatness is just gaslighting.
