I think you are working under a misapprehension. I am not suggesting MAGA or the right wing makes up a majority of Americans. I am suggesting that the conceit of exceptionalism that is prevalent makes it easy for movements like MAGA to gain power, even though they aren't a majority.

MAGA is a small % of the population. We have been ruled by the minority for years.

Exceptionalism is not gaining hold of more people. Christian nationalism, MAGA, oligarchy.. we are under a coup.

The conceit of exceptionalism is certainly less prevalent now than it was 10 years ago, thanks in no small part to the humiliation a lot of Americans feel at having Trump and his movement destroying America's reputation, human rights, and technological advantages.

I can understand the resentment and anger other countries have toward America, but I always believe in redemption. America is going through a rough time right now, but I can assure you, a significant percentage of Americans are terrified and appalled by what is happening.

There are two wolves. The United States of America and the divided states of amerikkka and right now America is getting its ass kicked. I'm rooting for America, but I am without hope.

That’s a pretty extreme statement. While there are certainly issues to address, labeling an entire nation as 'trash' doesn’t contribute to any solution

I've been watching amerikkkan bullshit for 50 years. I remember Reagan, I remember everything he did from denying the AIDS crisis to closing the mental hospitals and putting the mentally ill on the street. I remember Bush 1 and 2. I'm still watching amerikkka sink lower than I thought possible.
