  1. Well stated, Helene Cooper (3:15) and Jeh Johnson (4:15) We lost exceptionalism because Republicans shattered the things that made us exceptional; that being an American means believing in the ideals of our Union, no matter your race, religion or creed, and that the peaceful transfer of power is above politics.

  2.  @Arcticstar69  - I was honest. It's often hard to hear criticism. The Republican party is controlled by a theocratic authoritarian white nationalist agenda and is extremist in its views, not a conservative political party at all anymore.

  4.  @wmdavidhamilton  - The rhetoric and actions before, during and after the 2020 elections by the Republican party leadership and the majority of its voters, based upon the election results, are clearly authoritarian. Millions of them have chosen Trump and believe he is anointed by God to bring Christianity into education, the military and government, with a clear bias for white, Christian Americans and indisputable bias against Black Americans, Americans of color, Muslims and other non-Christians and immigrants. The goal of theocratic authoritarianism is avowed and plain-spoken by these Republicans, and the majority of their elected representatives in Congress will not disabuse them of these designs and, frankly, delusions. That is to say, the evidence that white nationalist autocratic theocracy is the goal that Republicans use, explicitly or tacitly, to get out their most reliable voters, the religious right voters is as plain as day. That a significant number of these followers would employ violence, extrajudicial killings and insurrection to bring about this goal has been demonstrated on multiple occasions, often at the prodding of Trump and other GOP elected leaders -- most vividly on January 6th, 2021. A day of infamy equal to August 24, 1814 and as impactful upon future generations of Americans as September 11th, 2001.

  5.  @wmdavidhamilton  - I don't explain other people's opinions, only my own. You, and the "large number" you cite, are completely entitled to not share my view, as I am entitled to not share yours, or theirs.
