The fact that so many Americans think we are great is what’s keeping us from being better.

I think Dr Brands has misinterpreted today’s conservatives. They don’t think this is the greatest country or even a great country. They despise the nation’s government; attacking our justice system, our social support system, even our military. And they deplore many of our community structures; public schools, worker unions, community organizing, non-evangelical churches. These conservatives certainly seem to dislike the majority of their fellow citizens. They say our leaders are stupid, we, including the military, never win anymore and quite explicitly they say America is no longer great - please make it great again.
