Both Republicans and Democrats love (or hate) an idea of what America is. But for too many Democrats, that idea is conditional -- events in the news can change their basic beliefs about what America truly "is".

@Noahpinion @CameronCorduroy I think that, for non-MAGA people, it turned out that the country wasn't what we thought it was.
But for them, they were right.
I mean, I do love America, but... more the version in my head than the one on the ground, and maybe with different people.

Republicans, on the other hand, have a firmer, more fixed belief about what America is. It's not probationary, provisional, or conditional. No matter what happens in the news, they keep believing that America is the thing they believe it to be -- and which they claim to love
