Let’s get clear on the word “exceptional”. People think it means Americans see themselves as special. (well I believe that, but that’s beside the point). It’s original meaning was that America was the exception in the world. Other countries had monarchs, despotic systems of government. We formed a democratic republic where “we the people” were in charge. And we have shared that all over the world for the good.

I reject those below who say America is done. It is not. We just have to remember we aren’t perfect, but net-net, we have been the world’s best idea and a force for good. Right now the idiots on the left want us to forget that. REFUSE!

NCMaureen, you may think the idiots on the left want us to forget about America’s exceptionalism, but those on the right are actively trying to destroy the Republic; they don’t believe in democracy!

That’s because we are not a democracy. We are a Republic. Understand the difference

NCMaureen, you have a reading comprehension problem. I said: “…but those on the right are actively trying to destroy the Republic:” go back and look!
