"For Americans who are having a hard time understanding what their friends across the pond are going through, imagine if chicken mcnuggets died.
Or anything else you've had since you were a child that you know is not really good for you but it gives you a sense of comfort that you don't really understand and can't really control so you're not ready to give it up just yet."
I think Caitlin Johnstone's point might apply to the great rump of people re the Queen / the flag / Christianity. For a scarily large sector, these fantasies match the family Xmas / Thanksgiving turkey dinner with all trimmings too, let alone chicken nuggets.
