Part 7/13:
A key theme explored is how the nation’s mythology has faded. For instance, a clip from the Creed Super Bowl halftime show is referenced, emphasizing how the image of a unified, proud America seems increasingly fictionalized. The conversation suggests that the country was once built on ideals of greatness, but that era was driven in part by manipulation and war—highlighting invasions in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and Bosnia—leading to disillusionment.
