They think this because they are gullible and their media and leaders have been long bought by big business, which is now subservient to China and other international capital - literally that same exact globalist dynamic they think they are somehow fighting. If they would bother listening to their fellow citizens they might have a chance at understanding any of the ways they've been thoroughly pwnt for the past few decades, but they prefer the comforting "facts" from their own fictional universe instead.
