This movement appears to essentially be a phenomenon of the USA. What is it about American culture that leads to such thinking?

they have a similar attitude for many things: trump vs obama, religion vs science, apple vs microsoft, angular vs react, flat vs round, “me” vs the others, US vs Russia... i believe it is because competitiveness is a pillar in the american society. it is sometimes so important to lead to the absurd.

Where do they think things that fly over the horizon are going?

Planes, clouds, the moon, the sun, etc
