America’s Wrecking-Ball Revolution

The Economist: “As it celebrates the 250th anniversary of its independence, the United States is once again in a state of rebellion. This time the revolution is against the world America itself created.”

“Instead of George III and his parliament in far-off London, the enemies of this Wrecking-ball revolution are the global institutions, alliances and system of values that America built to keep liberty safe after the defeat of fascism in 1945. Many Republicans, as well as some on the left, believe these structures impose burdens that Americans should be no more willing to tolerate than they were the Stamp Act of 1765.”
