The Real Problem with Liberals Is They’ve Given Up on What Works for What Sounds Good

No nation in human history has been more successful or done more to help other nations than the United States. We were the decisive nation in WW1, WW2, and the Cold War. We have been the primary supporter of democracy on the planet, we have the most powerful military in human history, and other than Great Britain, no nation did more to end slavery. Americans built the largest economy in human history, put a man on the moon, and invented everything from the Model-T to the Internet. If you want to compare the United States to other nations that have accomplished a lot historically like Britain, Italy, Greece, Egypt, France, Russia, and China, none of them comes close. In the real world, despite our country’s flaws, America is still the pinnacle of human accomplishment. That doesn’t mean we can’t improve or that there isn’t any nation that can’t do things better than us, but we already are what other nations aspire to be.

Yet, that’s not good enough for so many people on the Left. So many liberals not only refuse to acknowledge our success, they put this country down at every opportunity. They’re the sort of people the late, great Machiavelli described just so:

“And many writers have imagined for themselves republics and principalities that have never been seen or known to exist in reality; for there is such a gap between how one lives and how one ought to live that anyone who abandons what is done for what ought to be done learns his ruin rather than his preservation: for a man who wishes to profess goodness at all times will come to ruin among so many who are not good.”

In other words, they hate the real country because they are in love with a theoretical utopia in their minds that has never existed in the real world and never will. It’s all fine and good to talk about critical race theory, fourth-wave feminism, intersectionality, or other ridiculous academic theories that have been taken far too seriously, but where have these theories brought success, happiness, and prosperity in the real world? What successful nation owes its accomplishments to those principles? When liberals look at American history, they tend to obsessively focus on our flaws despite the fact that they were common across the world. Yes, we took land from the Indians. However, there’s not a square foot of land on planet earth that wasn’t violently taken from one group of people by another at some point in time. We also had slavery at one time, just like almost every nation on the planet at one time or another. If prostitution is the oldest profession, then slave master was probably the second. There are racists in America, but if this country was really racist, non-white immigrants wouldn’t be flocking here by the millions.
