It depends on what you mean. America the government courting christofascism? Hell fucking no. I wish all the Republicans and neolibs in power would have a heart attack. I also wish to live long enough to read Trump's and Alito's obituaries. But I do love my local community too much to just abandon them. At best, I would call my relationship with America akin to Stockholm Syndrome.
Fun fact: The term "Stockholm Syndrome" was a term coined to silence a woman who criticized the bumbled police response that put her and other hostages in even more danger. She wasn't enamored of her captors, but instead critical of the police.
love your country, hate the government
