I would argue that we were taught a “Vision of America”. The Constitution is, and always has been, an aspirational document. We have failed to reach that goal in many ways and many times, but the objective is always there, more or less. After we played a major part in defeating the Axis powers in WWII, we took the lead in building a post-war world that was recognized not only our Allie’s but the defeated nations as well. A good part of the peace that has largely existed since the 1940’s and through the Cold War, is due to our efforts (and money). We helped build free democracies throughout Western Europe that today comprise a major portion of the developed world economy. History will look back at the early 21st century and wonder “what the Hell were they thinking?” We are the first and only world power to voluntarily walk away from a position of power, opportunity and profit. Other than some perverted sense of “America First”, we have chosen to turn over Great Power status to some undetermined other nation —- China perhaps, maybe India. That may not be the intent of the Trumpenfuhrer and his cronies, but it certainly seems like ultimate result. Some academic should write a book about what we are doing now.
HuskCrump are looking for world dominion, not just to control our wee country. We are just the stepping stone and by determining we are expendable weak and will no longer exert power, they believe they can leap to a gold plated (?) fortress maybe in space. I promise I didn’t get to that idea due to Star Wars.
