A man far wiser than his years. These kids have been raised on a steady diet of education that largely concludes America and the creations of western civilization are not just not exceptional but oppressive, polluting, racist, misogynist, colonizing, blah blah blah.

It’s a terrible thing and comes from both sides of the aisle these days. Obama regularly lectured about short comings of America and Trump will tell you every institution in America is rotten to its core.

There are few advocates left for the generally decency created by western style liberal democracies.
