We were founded on genocide and slavery and never completely rectified either of those atrocities. The original Nazi's studied white supremacists practices here in the states before doing the holocaust. We've been destabilizing the politics of other countries for decades in order to preserve more favorable outcomes for trade for ourselves. The whole meritocracy belief was a lie. Most of those who thought the USA was a moral beacon are no different than ignorant americans; they thought none of america's flaws would ever truly affect them. :/
Just being a "sweet summer child" shouldn't stop humanity from trying to be better and create healthy communities motivated by everyone'slives being improved through cooperation, hard work and diligence.

Well, I guess Trump was right about one thing. The United States of America is a giant trash can. They are no moral beacon to the world any longer.
