The End of Idealism

Time to wake up from the American Dream and face the American Reality

We have not handled the Pandemic well:

We are not managing the economy well:

We are not leading the people well:

Our society is looking more and more unstable.

If the sixties were the End of Innocence, then this current era must surely be the End of Idealism.

“We shall be as a City upon a Hill, the eyes of all people are upon us.”

we are NOT a shining city on a hill,

we are NOT the paragon of all democratic virtues,

we are NOT a role model for all to look up to.

And White Supremacy walks hand-in-hand with Christian Supremacy.

This is the legacy of a country that set ideals, but never rose to meet them.

The American ideals sound good, but the reality is something different.
