He's not talking about people who hate the government. He's talking about people who hate the country and regard it as having been conceived in sin and that it never should have existed in the first place.
This is a strange state of mind. Even the Communists extolled patriotism towards "the socialist motherland." Why should the United States be considered the most evil country in history, and by its own elites?
It’s the same thing. People tend to think of countries as monoliths, they don’t separate the people from the government, they don’t separate regions of people, they don’t separate events from the people. They think of it as one thing, England, France, America, all mono-units. So when the government does bad things, as ours so frequently does, people think “America bad”; when they run into people from one of the more “abrupt” regions they think “America rude”; when some tragic event happens in a small town on the East Coast they think “America armed and dangerous”.
It’s a natural byproduct of the way our brain works, it doesn’t like gray areas, it doesn’t like complex concepts, it doesn’t like dealing with large numbers doing disparate things. It likes large, singular, easily defined blocks. And when one section of that block has been borderline evil for their entire lives then it brands the block. In the minds of people that aren’t going out of their way to separate the parts America’s government is America.
“Why should the United States be considered the most evil country in history, and by its own elites?”
Because America has been the greatest hope for Freedom that the planet has ever hosted. America worked. America was right. That drives them CRAZY.
