The biggest problem with the kinds of Democrats that fall for this nonsense is this unfounded belief that we're somehow The Good Guys.

This might be a subtle point but they're not arguing "We're the guys who only perform good actions, or actions in service of goodness", they're saying "goodness is inherent to your [national] identity", which lets them turn a blind eye to bad actions that conflict with their self-image.

MAGA shatters their illusion.

There are no "good guys". There are only good and bad choices, if you're lucky.

The belief of Goodness as an identity is best avoided.
