America isn't real. There isn't some ideological spirit of America that you can separate from the people that run it. At most you could argue that America is also its culture, but uh, the culture has been pretty fucking bad since the start! American society is terrible. America's government is terrible. American culture is terrible. It's an irredeemable shithole country.

They talk and talk and talk about it ad nauseam. They simply just do it rhetorically and always fail to embody it.
