RE: Erosion of America’s Moral Credibility

There's a huge difference between "orange man bad" TDS and principled criticism of specific policies from some kind of philosophical foundation. The man is a jingoistic ass, an economic ignoramus, and unwilling to admit wrongdoing even in patently unconstitutional acts which deny due process to inflict cruel and unusual punishment.

Meanwhile, I'd argue US moral credibility has been crumbling since the end of the Cold War and the ongoing search for new enemies while bureaucracy and cromyism seek new ways to leech off society.
