Tankies: "Any enemy of the US is my ally".
It is a zero sum game for them. They are incapable of thinking that while the US sucks, their enemies can also suck.
Strawman. Tankies literally have a phrase for this. It's called "critical support", which means supporting the efforts of anti-imperialism while reserving the right to criticize without that critique rising to the level of reversing the support for the anti-imperialist action
Who is "them" exactly here? Are you listening to teenagers on TikTok and extrapolating a whole ideology here? Tankies aren't anti-American by definition. Someone is feeding you some pretty twisted propaganda.
