Just because we’ve never had a military coup isn’t a very high bar to gauge our system of checks and balances
American exceptionalism intrinsically relies on comparing itself to the worst countries in the world and being ignorant of other developed nations.
- prepend 6y agoIt also intrinsically relies on being exceptional. There’s certainly many flaws, but it’s not luck that we’ve avoided coups for a couple hundred years. Seems pretty well designed and built on lots of previous successes. My comment wasn’t so much saying US is best, but just pointing out that having idiots elected and futzing about in DC seems like not such a bad idea.
