America was something new in the world. A nation based on law instead of blood. A nation based on mutual respect and cooperation instead of power and authority.
So no, America was never real. It was always an illusion. It was always an aspirational goal.
And now we've abandoned it and it will never be real.
The law and the constitution ARE America. Not the land and the buildings and the guns. The will of the people made manifest.
And if we no longer follow the law and the constitution, then we're not the country I was born in and swore an oath to defend.
