I think about this a lot. I’m 60 years old, part of the last Cold War generation. I grew up with the baseline assumption that the US was a force for Good in the world, vs the Soviets and their allies, who were Evil. It was reflected in pop culture, political rhetoric, even consumer marketing.
Americans clearly don’t understand that this line of argument is entirely lost for at least a generation. Talk about the US as representing “democracy” or “the free world” will be met with scorn everywhere. The world has converged to Latin America in that regard.

“Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble.” The Late Great Rep. John Lewis

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Remembering the first day of my college seminar on the reign of King Charles I
The eminent professor asked us who has sovereignty in the USA
We all said “the President”
He cackled and said, “No! It’s the people, you authoritarians! It’s in the goddamn Constitution!!”
I never forgot that
