As we trek past the halfway mark of an eventful 2021, many are still trying to make sense of the events of 2020. This unpacking has provided some in the U.S. with moments of clarity regarding American exceptionalism and the authentic state of the nation.
In his new book After the Fall: Being American in the World We've Made, author Ben Rhodes grapples with the dissolving notion of American exceptionalism in a post-Covid world. Using a global lens, Rhodes presents a glimpse of a potential democracy-free future, presently modeled by countries like Hungary, Russia, and China.
In this talk, presented by Elliot Bay Book Company, Rhodes (who was a speechwriter for former President Barack Obama) examines the post-Cold War ideological shifts that have inspired surges of nationalism around the world.
From conversations with protesters and government officials, Rhodes maps out a blueprint of the rise of nationalism in the U.S. and just how Americans should prepare.

Let's see, how does it go again? Populism, nationalism, fascism, and Trumpism. Yup, that's it. If you want to bring in Adolph, just change the last one to Hitlerism, who donnie loves to imitate.

SSG (Join to see) - Becasue clintioon did not brag about having more miltary expertise than any of the general like Trump did, Clinton did not say that he was better trained than those who went to Vietnam and never claimed to be a military expert, Trump did both.

1stSgt Nelson Kerr Maybe, but it would seem that he actually did know batter. Remember the MOAB on the Taliban? Or the Iranian General? No one else would have hit those targets like that, and for the last 4 years no one dared to F with us.
