and lately Americans are moving backwards.
There was a time that we used to laugh at what Archie Bunker said. Who thought so many Americans thought he was a prophet?
There was a time when we laughed at Dennis Rodman, when he said that he "loved Kim Jong Un". Who thought so many Americans would support a guy who incorporated Rodman's expertise into his foreign policy?
No place on earth is perfect, but very few other countries contend that their country is a model of "Exceptionalism" or that they are the "arsenal of Democracy" or claim they are "the shinning city on a hill".
I participated in politics in Massachusetts my whole life and now it's the most progressive state in the US. Every statewide elected official is a Democrat. Both Senators and every member of Congress is a Democrat. Both state legislative bodies have a Democratic super Majority. I've done my part for 50 years. Now it's your turn.
Good Luck.
