There’s something genuinely positive that illustrates America’s greatness with or without Trump. And it’s worth celebrating. It’s simply that American democracy performed, although awkwardly, as the founders basically envisioned: Common folk could stand up against the establishment elite and boot them out the door. Of course, the founders reserved that right basically only for white men — no women, slaves or Native Americans — so we’ve come a long way. Rebelling against the ruling class — peasants with pitchforks overrunning the castle — is part of the American DNA.
