    From 1980-2016? the GOP was the party of American Exceptionalism—and the party of moral clarity. If that brand wasn’t already completely dead, Trump killed it, yesterday.https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-republican-party-is-now-the-blame-america-party …

        I beg to differ. I thought Barack Obama killed it when he said “I believe in American exceptionalism, just as I suspect that the Brits believe in British exceptionalism..” The Apologetic President. Please don’t attack me for my different opinion tho. It happens on a daily basis

        I hope that at some point in a globally connected world we will "see" human beings beyond our geopolitical boundaries and recognize our "exceptionalism" is in many ways happenstance; we were born or arrived in a country with vast natural resources that gave us power & privilege.

        Is that to say you’re ashamed of that luck?

        Why do you infer I would be "ashamed" of that luck or blessing? What an odd suggestion. One can have empathy for another person's lived experiences without carrying guilt or shame for not sharing them, or their possible burdens. This more conservative line is so bizarre to me.

        Their moral clarity was appalling. And really hasn’t changed. Trump just says the quiet part ms out loud.

        Sorry but the GOP hasn't had moral clarity for at least two decades.

        And the fact that you and other journalists may have believed they have is part of the reason our country is in this mess.

        The GOP has been a party of white resentment, xenophobia, and the wealthy elite. But if that’s what you call exceptionalism...

        Trump didn’t just kill it. He shat on Reagan’s grave.

        In fairness, Reagan's grave should be a public toilet.

        Moral clarity? Please. Iran Contra, outing CIA agents, the Iraq war just to name a few. Do you need to be reminded this is the party of Dick Cheney, Newt Gingrich, and Mitch McConnell?

        There is nothing moral or clear about the GOP. They loss that decades ago when they embraced grievance politics & Newt Gingrich’s scorched earth tactics which ultimately gave them Trump. It’s the logical end to a party that claims to love America but hates most Americans.

        Trump’s been blaming all American institutions for years. Since his campaign began, it’s been nothing but blaming, lying, divisive rhetoric and support for an agenda that is mostly not good for Americans, and America’s leadership on the global stage. #TrumpTrainWreck
