You write “because I already regarded our country as the greatest in the world. And why is our country so great?
Because our Constitution is the best. We have the best form of government ever imagined into existence”.
Sorry, but if your constitution was so great, and if your institutions were strong enough, this wouldn’t have happened. The proof of the pudding is in the eating.
By making this statement, I doubt you have ever made a study of other countries’ constitutions or Basic Laws, how they have re-written them to reflect the present times with their challenges and dangers. Good luck to you and yours.
"Sorry, but if your constitution was so great, and if your institutions were strong enough, this wouldn’t have happened."
What do you mean? What sort of institution should we have to prevent amoral people like Trump from running for president? How do you want our Constitution changed?
"By making this statement, I doubt you have ever made a study of other countries’ constitutions or Basic Laws, how they have re-written them to reflect the present times with their challenges and dangers."
Which country has a Constitution which is superior and has demonstrated that in the prosperous results which it has provided? And how would such a country make it illegal for the Trumps of the world to gain power?
I have a degree in political science and have written professionally on a full-time basis about international matters for 15 years now. You can certainly disagree with me but our disagreement is not because of my ignorance about these matters. It's because we have different moral values.
Please substantiate “different moral values”. On what evidence is that declaration based? Different insights, different experiences perhaps? Perhaps a bachelors degree at an American university is a big deal over there, but I doubt very much it stands up against a higher degree at a top European university like the Sorbonne. As for myself, I am not an ignoramus and have several degrees. A bachelors in a STEM field, two Master’s degrees and a PhD in a related field. Not to brag, but to demonstrate I am not easily awed by terms like university, professional. Sounds to me like even more American exceptionalism. If that makes you happy, then stick to it.

I think you’ve made abundantly clear that you and I operate from different sources of morality. Is the evidence for that not plain in your responses?
