    it’s hubris to equate America with democracy

    I would wager the OP meant American democracy. Not global democracy. But you’re right that we Americans should speak as if there are other people out there other than us.

    Perhaps we’ll be the cautionary tale for the next generation.

    I’m at this point in my life where I feel like it doesn’t really matter what happens to me personally. But, I do have two children, and I am sad for them at the thought of what kind of world they’ll be inheriting. They genuinely deserve better than what they seem to be getting.
