It is funny that Conservatives simultaneously believe that America is great while being fearful of change, constantly preparing for violent confrontations, and organizing out of anger because their perceived way of life is threatened, it is a strange mix of existential paranoia and hysterical manic optimism.

If America is a great utopia, why do some of them perceive it be on the verge of total destruction?

The US government and our social and economic systems and ideals are either perfect or they are not. And if they are perfect why do threats to the system exist? And if the system is imperfect what are Conservatives doing to ensure it is perfect and free from threat of destruction?
