Background- There's been a lot of recent discussion regarding US territorial expansion into Greenland, Panama and even Canada. It's more than likely that much of this is the usual bluster to push a beneficial deal, as is standard for our current commander in chief, but there is an undercurrent of real desire there from what I see. My main concern is more the change I've noticed in my own feelings and thoughts. I've been a strong critic of US foreign policies since teenagerhood, especially of all the resulting needless wars and immense suffering it's caused around the planet. But now, I have these bubbling feelings of "Heck yeah USA" and "Yeah, we should take what we want or need." My thinking goes towards the answer of "These are at least somewhat logical foreign policy moves for a change, " but the sensation feels...off. It kinda reminds me of the days after 9/11 and how people's minds were affected then.
Q- Would something like voting link me to a political egregore that might help explain why I'm sensing this shift internally? Or is there something going on more in the astral currents that would explain this? (And I'm open to the non-occult idea that I'm just spending too much time with the news.)
