I can't follow your argument I'm sorry.
I meant criticism of the government was
usually analyzed from an liberal vs conservative
framework. There was a wave of fear, a wave of patriotism,
and then criticism seemed to be viewed from a patriotic/unpatriotic
framework.
"Everybody should think this way" is repression but in
my opinion not as prevalent in a liberal vs conservative
framework then a patriotic/unpatriotic framework. \
Disagreeing with a conservative approach is now
"against America,freedom". Again how the liberal vs conservative
framework represses patriotism I have no idea what you are
talking about.
