A modest irony that due largely to AOC’s conception of history and its wide promotion in mainstream culture, the modern country could never now duplicate the historic country’s feats.
If you’re a white guy, you’d have to be history’s biggest sucker to charge Omaha Beach or hold the line at Little Round Top on behalf of AOC her ilk.
Could Conservatives capitalize on Americans’ WWII obsession and give more reverence to the men who fought against Imperial Japan. I imagine talking about how evil the “fascist” Japanese were would work more to our benefit than Leftists’.
Leaving aside that the “Elon’s Roman salute” controversy is 2017 “Resistance”-tier content…
We’ve come a long way down from Gore Vidal’s, “The Civil War was—and is—to the United States what the Trojan War was to the Greeks, the great single tragic vehement that continues to give resonance to our Republic.” As hard to understand as it must be for her, a stranger to this land whose very presence here would be abhorred by the men who did beat the Confederates and the Nazis, the Civil War once united North and South in a positive way. Here was an example of authentic American exceptionalism! Now we have the old Radical-Republican triumphalism reappropriated by Puerto Ricans and other foreigners.
