Historian Jon Meacham reminds us that, despite our current struggles, we have benefitted from generations of sacrifice and resilience. “Memorial Day is obviously set aside for a particular kind of commemoration for the people who gave the last full measure of devotion, but let’s not look back and think, ‘They had it easier, our problems are uniquely oppressive.’ Because it doesn’t do justice to what they fought for and what they fought against.” Aired on 5/25/2020.

We must assume that the elections will NOT be the GOP’s one and only exception, and that they won’t try to rig, steal and intimidate their way to stay out of jail. We must be prepared to fight and sacrifice. Help get the vote out. Make the numbers too BIG to question. Restore our Republic and see JUSTICE done, by jailing the trump’s.

America’s crippling mind set is “American Exceptionalism”. It infers an individual’s superiority over individuals in cultures that have hundreds and thousands of years, in some cases, of long tortuous evolution and adaptation. America is a self-amused and falsely self-satisfied, quite ignorant teenager in a playground of smarter, older, wiser, more cultured, more artistic, more developed adults, who behave like adults and are just waiting for America to grow up. Real people do not need to see themselves beginning with the idea that they are exceptional. They become exceptional through individual and national striving, sharing, kindness and compassion, accomodation and a sense that all people are equal. It is, of course, written into the American Constitution. But we all know that is irrelevant to Republicans and so many far right and maybe far left, ill-educated extremists and whacko Evangelicals. Hollywood set the tone for American Exceptionalism and wove it into the fabric the American Cultural mind set. America, to the rest of the world, is pretty much a Hollywood movie – devoid of real substance and full of titillation and the constant need for stimulation rather than education. America is tinsel. Time to grow up. This is an opportunity – but America will miss it on many fronts, because America cannot comprehend the opportunity simply because America is a teenager still in short pants.
