The American Innocence

Kaepernick reminds me of the whole American innocence thing i think it manifests in this communism killed a hundred million people thing. The hidden premise is that communism is objectively empirically worse than capitalism and communism actually intends to kill people but when america does it you know it's an accident because their ideology is evil. So let's focus now on the sort of creation myths of american society the founding fathers and the revolutionary war itself  you guys dedicate an entire chapter to it in the book so what founding myths do we tell ourselves about ourselves as Americans? And how do those founding myths sort of live on today?
