Americans defend the government so fiercely because they have replaced religion with the government. Americans think criticizing the government is the same as attacking God now.
Americans also equate the US government with the USA. Americans think exposing government abuse is the same as bashing the US.
Maybe if Americans studied history and knew how many millions of people were killed by governments with concentration camps in Nazi Germany, Soviet gulags, the Cultural Revolution in China, and Cambodia's killing fields then Americans wouldn't be so eager to embrace tyranny.
