The White House has launched another taxpayer-funded television ad before the midterms, this time featuring imagery of President Donald Trump walking down a hall as audio plays of him saying “this is the final battle.”
“We will cast out the communist, Marxists, and fascists. We will throw off the sick political class that hates our country. We will rout the fake news media, and we will liberate America from these villains once and for all,” Trump says in the ad, echoing comments he made during a Veterans Day speech in 2023.
I think it was letterman that started his show with “from New York, the greatest city in the world” that they unreflectively cheered for years … which I think is an example of how brainwashed even the more liberal Americans have been over the last 50 years. Their entire culture has been leading to this point.
They were never the good guys.
One of the first things I learned about climate change in the 90s was the US didn’t ratify Kyoto—and Bush withdrew in 01. Never the good guys. We can go back further (Allende, Nicaragua—not the good guys there either).
But still, even many liberal leaning people, think they are the greatest. And they laughably think this is a blip.
Edit: this post definitely triggered some Americans.
The only people you’ll find actually saying that are New Yorkers. And they have said that shit for a LONG ass time. Their arrogant delusions are sort of unmatched when it comes to having the “best”… whatever. Pizza, bagels, art, etc. they’ll claim everything they do is the best in the world regardless of reality.
Hey now, other cities are welcome to flex about their pizza and bagels if they’re actually better than NYC’s (they’re not).
There’s American Exceptionalism sure, but in my experience even an unpatriotic New Yorker thinks NY is the best city in the world.
It’s actually quite old. At least a century or two, if not more https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_exceptionalism
