2. America is a totally peaceloving country. Never mind that in the 240 years between 1776 and 2016, there's been maybe ten years, total, adding up a year here and a few months there and so forth, that us peaceloving Americans haven't been involved in at least one war (or "police action," or some other activity where bombs get dropped and people get shot). This, despite having vast oceans to the east and west, the Canadians to the north, and the Mexicans to the south. Never mind all that. Don't even think about it. If you do, you might become Less Than Patriotic. And that would be very, very bad.
3. America is the very free-est country anywhere. Yes, it is. Never mind that we imprison a larger fraction of our people than pretty much anywhere. Never mind that the reason we're all gathered here 'round the ECCIE campfire is illegal. Never mind that the NSA is hoovering up every bit of data that they can get their paws on, which is pretty much all of them. Never mind that "our" government uses "our" constitution for toilet paper. Never mind that kids selling lemonade on the sidewalk need licenses. Never mind that the flush capacity of every toilet here in the United States of Panopticon is dictated by DC. Never mind all that -- we're just the bestest!
So, just repeat all of that, over and over again. Soon you'll feel all better!
Oh, and watch lots of teevee. That really helps.
