Basis for Trump Appeal: Authoritarianism

[♪alt13]

American exceptionalism. The real cause of everything that's wrong with our neighbour and the real cause of the rise of Donald Trump.

Is every Canadian a jealous bitch?

Is every Canadian seriously more objective about America's past than Americans?

No... but it's pretty dang close.

America is exceptional. I can happily say that despite our faults and mean it in a way that does not detract from other nations. For example, I think Japan, Russia, Cuba, Madagascar, Australia, Kuwait, Brazil...we are all exceptional.

Just like Germany needs to maintain its apologies for past transgressions, America must do the same. Not doing so might lend some credibility among the insecure hicks of America, but it will further damage international relationships with foreign nations worldwide.

You tell me which tradeoff is more significant. I simply cannot understand why you're so sensitive about Barack Obama admitting the transgressions of America. It really is rather bizarre.

Did you just equate Americans trying to create world peace to Hitler Germany? Fanatic.

Who cares? I can't pass up any opportunity to call a Canadian a jealous bitch. It makes me so happy.

If everyone is exceptional, doesn't the concept lose its meaning then?

As you've mentioned Hitler first, you immediately loose the thread.

I don't think so, we are not all the same. We all have different strengths, culture and heritage. We can all be exceptional in our own ways.
