... and it was this republican break with tradition, rather than a supposed shared heritage of "Christan values", sovereignty and white supremacy, that made the USA an attractive role model for many Europeans - from French revolutionaries to Johann Wolfgang von Goethe ("Amerika, du hast es besser").
interesting to think that revolutionary era americans understood themselves as making a break with the “old world” and establishing a new civilization. and crucially, this new civilization rested on republican self-government, not “sovereignty.”
The Rubio speech really is appalling, and if you haven’t read it yet, you should.
