If you want some American exceptionalism, here it is.
Despite everything, most Americans still think we’ll do great in the future even if we acknowledge that we really screwed the pooch this time. I guess that’s probably due to Trump, but as far as I’m concerned, the fact that we could elect Trump in the first place says we are in decline. The events of January 6th just confirm that. If the Democrats can demonstrate effective governance I will be much more optimistic. But the jury’s still out.
