By any standard, going back a year, a decade or a century, American exceptionalism is still with us.
Many people assume that America has a special mission or purpose to bring liberty and democracy to all men and women.
By any estimation the seven billion people on earth are heading in that direction.
A half assed assessment of America's failures and problems does not subtract or detract from the reality that as Lincoln intended, America is still the last best hope for the world.
If all you can do is pantomime thought and refer to your country as a third world shithole, through your shitty lenses you will see a shit hole.
You are wrong.
The shithole is a construct of your own fears.
My country is not a shithole.
More likely you clowns are assholes.
