The mantra of “American exceptionalism” that reverberated throughout the 20th Century was, in hindsight, a rhetorical parasite. Pure abstracted hubris, pushed on Heritage America by ruling trash who never had our best interests at heart.
That mantra blinded us to human nature, and led us down a path of pathological trust in our institutions which were rapidly degrading behind the scenes, full of malevolent apparatchiks taking advantage of that deep well of normie trust.
Corruption is a human weakness. Even in America. We believed in our own incorruptibility. And now we are paying the price for thinking ourselves above our earthly bonds. We are not Gods. But we arrogated Godhood and thought we were untethered from the usual corporeal vices and temptations. It made us defenseless when real evil showed itself.
