This is a great piece, only from the perspective that it shows, how the liberal media, with no apologies, views the United States, and mocks traditional American values of self-reliance, personal responsibility, and more than that, they mock and attack freedom and liberty.
From the piece:
"On the surface, Reagan's sunny disposition and boundless optimism couldn't be a starker contrast from Trump's vision of "American carnage." But as The Reagans, directed by Matt Tyrnauer, suggests, Reagan's career path from Hollywood celebrity to Commander in Chief — his campaign slogan "Let's make America great again," his emphasis on law and order politics, his slashing of government regulations, his cozying up to the religious right, and his appeals to white racists through dog whistles about "states' rights" and "welfare queens" — all feels frighteningly familiar in the Trump era, even if Trump has never limited himself to just coded language."
So then, law and order, states rights, and the slashing of restrictive, job-killing government regulations are things to be avoided and denounced?
Then this:
"In Reagan, the cult of rugged individualism overtook the Republican Party and remade American politics. Now, 40 years later amid a global pandemic, that unbridled individualism has shown its deadly dimensions in Trump and the Republicans' lack of response to COVID-19. Their dismissal of a coordinated government response in favor of encouraging Americans to decide what they think best, including whether or not to wear masks, has spelled catastrophe. And it's evident in the millions of Americans who — in refusing to wear masks, practice social distance, and momentarily deny their self-gratification — have selfishly exploited the language of "individual responsibility" as license for their own recklessness."
So, demanding an overbearing, despotic government stand down and cease trampling the Constitution and attacking our freedoms and individual liberties is akin to being unable to "momentarily deny their self-gratification"? Can there be any wonder the country is so completely divided when we deal with people who are so thoroughly blinded by their emotion and anti-America agenda?
