Identification with "The Bully" archetype
The USA has a pattern of identifying with "The Bully" archetype. I propose that this is from the collective unconscious trauma that manKIND has undergone for decades, more likely centuries.
If one has to choose sides, would you rather be with the Bully or to be bullied by the Bully? ManKIND is so lost and injured that most choose the Bully out of self-protection. Most instinctively just don't want to be hurt. They applaud and align with...."The Bully".
I know in my life of multiple relatives and co-workers who literally became Archie Bunker in real life after watching All in The Family. They used his sayings and vocal tones to bring the Bully to life. Oddly enough, O'Connor, who PLAYED the Bully Bunker archetype, did not speak this way in real life.
