a quote posted here reminded me of this:
back when 9/11 happened, cdns opened their hearts, their airports & their homes to stranded americans. a few months later, americans hated us b/c we weren't 100% on board with their war.
at that time, i was talking to a table of americans at a t/show in vegas. the sentiment was why us? why would anyone do that to us?
i sat there amazed at the lack of self awareness of how they're perceived around the world & their actions on that world.
no change.🤔
i know peeps have talked on here about american exceptionalism.
there are so many americans who think they can do no wrong. your way is the right way. & you have such a mighty mighty sword. the pain of others b/c of american actions is quite...significant.
everything you do right, needs to be celebrated, and everything you do wrong, needs to be buried.
if you're unable to reflect, how can you change? trump is a product of that exceptional thinking 🤔
@singlemaltgirl nail on head. I cringe anytime I read words “we are the greatest”
