Except it doesn't. It's just exceptionalism gussied up as a hopeful slogan. The America people tend to fetishize is a false version of Jim Crow. Americana is literally built on erasing the reality in favor of glossy images of propaganda
People will tip into madness instead of recognizing that "This is un-American" reveals an encouraging preference for a non-fascist vision of America.
I fear my tipping point into madness is "Thus is un-American" posts in response to ICE terrorizing immigrants. I beg you to open Wikipedia (I would say a book but let's start small) and read up on The Trail of Tears, Fugitive Slave Catchers, Japanese internment, Indian Boarding schools & Jim Crow
