Are people in the US aware that they are now definitely a rogue state, or is this fact covered up by the usual patriotism somehow? (lemmy.world)

I don't think I'm the confused one here, to be honest with you, as shown by the other answers and upvotes in this thread

Yes, other people were confused. That doesn't mean that you're not confused.

The question is clearly asking if Americans are aware that they're now a rogue state, and I answered appropriately.

No, what you answered was "How do Americans feel about being a rogue state?" That's a completely different question, even though it's the one most people answered.

I fully understand and acknowledge that we're seen as a rogue state externally

The question was whether Americans in general understood and acknowledged that. I would say no, because most Americans don't follow foreign news sources. People who are getting their news from Fox News, OANN and Newsmax are probably not aware of that. Instead, they probably think the US is even more respected than ever.

Once again, this is why I didn't generalize and said that the PNW is well aware of that fact, and red states have their heads in the sand. I'm not sure how many times I need to say that to make it clear to you that I answered the question appropriately. I specified how Americans are feeling to back my statement of them being aware or not. Do you think the PNW, in general, gets their news from right wing news sources?
