Wait, does this make Trump anti-fa? Or?
Also, this is an #AdPopulum + #AmericanExceptionalism appeal. His people are the only good, patriotic Americans. All the rest are fascists. You know they're fascists by their "political correctness."

I write about Trump attacking "political correctness" with ad populum in my book. It allowed his followers to participate in the pleasure of violating norms of decorum by talking the way Trump does.
He likes to attack people who try to "control" how he talks because he knows it's dangerous and he doesn't want to be controlled. An uncontrollable leader is a dangerous demagogue.
Ok. Guys. As someone who has researched #AmericanExceptionalism a lot, I have A THREAD. #protests2020
First, what is #AmericanExceptionalism? It is helpful to view it as a national identity or narrative (which says that the US is inherently morally superior to other nations, and therefore will rise but not fall like previous great powers, and therefore should lead others).
I write about how this narrative has influenced US foreign policy through history in this book: routledge.com/American-Excep…

1) This is the 8th formal analysis of the #PardonFlynnNow movement. My target audience here is for supporters of @GenFlynn who fall into two camps, those supporting a Pardon, and those opposing it. Both are made up of true patriots, good people.
@GenFlynn 2) I've found that there is an extraordinary problem in understanding that goes even deeper than the Constitutional issues of pardon that I've previously analyzed. It cuts to the heart of judicial process, and our common understanding of justice itself. There is a great gap.
@GenFlynn 3) A Constitution is, here in America, a written document, a single document. In the nation from which we descend, Great Britain, there is NO such unitary document. In England, the term "Constitution" is far closer akin to health, as in one's personal constitution.
