It depends on what you mean. America the government courting christofascism? Hell fucking no. I wish all the Republicans and neolibs in power would have a heart attack. I also wish to live long enough to read Trump's and Alito's obituaries. But I do love my local community too much to just abandon them. At best, I would call my relationship with America akin to Stockholm Syndrome.

Fun fact: The term "Stockholm Syndrome" was a term coined to silence a woman who criticized the bumbled police response that put her and other hostages in even more danger. She wasn't enamored of her captors, but instead critical of the police.
