It's a foundational tenet of the American Civil Religion that America is, at it's heart, ontologically good and exceptional. Therefore, any large scale problems can't be the result of internal issues, they have to be the product of an outside evil corrupting the American Eden.

It's very much like the Christian doctrine that it descends from: all evil ultimately flowing from a single source, be it Satan or Putin.
