We used to understand that American Exceptionalism was a recognition of our heroic past and an acknowledgement of the dark days that sometimes seeded it.
It was a commitment to thus learn & grow, using facts & reason to create a more perfect Union. Together.
Out of many, one.
The modern Left is waging war on that idea.
As best summarized by Gov. Andrew Cuomo, they believe that “America was never that great.”
This wasn’t a flippant statement. Theirs is a calculated stand, an unyielding attempt to reshape the national zeitgeist into hating itself.
We saw an explosion of that Leftist effort this past summer.
“Tear down the monuments and statues! America is awful!” they screamed.
When reasonable people objected, the Leftist response was alarmingly honest: We don’t care, burn it all down.
The goal of Cuomo, Pelosi & other Leftists is simple: revolution.
If they can convince people that America is irredeemable, then so too are our political & economic systems.
What in their place? AOC & Co are pretty clear.
Socialist Govt, and a loss of freedom for “equality.”
Successful Revolutionaries need two things: a boogeyman & a pliable press.
American Leftists have defined the boogeymen: whites, males, the religious, & capitalists.
And they’ve forced press outlets into submission via infiltration, bullying, & greed.
They’re making progress.
The question now remains:
How do we stop these twin threats?
The Chinese Govt is actually manageable.
From smart diplomacy to America First economics to covert action, we can manage these thugs like the Soviets.
(Ain’t gonna be with Joe “not bad folks, folks” Biden, btw)
But the Leftists?
They‘re a far greater threat, one that will define the fight of our nat’l politics for a generation.
We only tasted it during the Trump era, which embraced American Exceptionalism.
So get ready to fight, Patriots.
Because if we lose, the Republic is lost.

There's lots of commentary that masks, social distancing, and/or sunlight don't work.
They do. Esp all three, together.
And its enough to demand that we reopen America, especially for those in working class America who can't survive the economic fallout.
Here's what we know.
Masks: They work.
Scientists have recently found that 30-40% of people who did NOT wear a mask later tested positive for coronavirus (in respiratory droplets & aerosols).
For the past several months, Trump's team has been doing exactly that. The US intel community, Dept of Defense, & State Department have been tasking sources and collecting corroborating info.
By 2040, most of the nation’s voters – including most liberals – will live in 15 of our 50 states. That means Democrats will solidly control only 30 Senate seats, even if they dominate in the House.
