It's this strange self-enforced taboo, you can't get the otherwise open-minded to even consider it out loud.

Whispers sure, rumors yeah, lots of static out at the margins, but nothing inside, nothing where it might really have some effect. It's as though the USA was incapable of producing more than a tiny little clot of revolutionaries and they mostly all just self-imploded from incompetence and stupidity and general unfitness.

Given the dynamic I mean.
Defending American interests abroad, at any cost versus defending American interests in America?
