the argument that you made in print in this latest essay that you just published about restoring faith in American competence, not just America's desire to play a leading role in world affairs and to play protective and beneficial and supportive role to our allies, but our ability to do so kind of hit me where it hurts because I feel like the whole idea of, you know, America first and America alone, it sort of makes sense that that comes from the political right because it goes easily with this anti-government idea that the United States shouldn't try to do things around the world and we shouldn't even try to do things necessarily to help our own people because government is inherently incompetent and inherently bad.
