This is a specific political ideology that I don't think defines the country. In theory, in 20 years the USA could have a completely different political landscape.

But it’s not a “specific political ideology.” My friends and I loved “24” in college and most of us had supported Al Gore. “Break the rules to get the bad guys” is just Americanism.
- makeitdouble 1y ago> War on Terror This was just slapping a name and an official policy on something that has been going on for way longer. In a way, 9/11 was the point where it could be put as is on the public place and be accepted politically ? > Break the rules to get the bad guys I'd offer you "agencies that have their own extra-legal rules and only need some higher up's approval" as a better description. The CIA doing it's own drug trafficking to balance its sheets would be a real life example of this.
