If we revive the ways we are the same, then nobody in the world can defeat us. That is American Exceptionalism.

American exceptionalism describes a conviction that the radical ideas woven into the very fabric of American history and tradition are, in fact, exceptional. Merit. Achievement. Free speech. Open debate. Self-governance and self-determination. Make no mistake, these are truly radical concepts, both in the modern world and throughout human history. The vast majority of civilizations haven’t embraced them—and still don’t. America did. That’s what makes us great.
But today, the same values that built the greatest nation in the world from the ground up are under attack. Faith, patriotism, and hard work are drying up and vanishing—in their place rise the new secular cults of Woke-ism, COVID-ism, and Climate-ism. The high priests of this most unholy trilogy have infested the American government and private sector; they celebrate victimhood in place of excellence and identity politics in place of achievement. They kill jobs, weaken our national security, destroy the middle class, and sow division—and declare unending war on any and all who would stand in their way.
We’ve put up with it for too long. We must remind ourselves and the world that America stands alone as the indispensable nation, the preeminent world power, the strongest force for Good in the history of mankind. Our country is at a tipping point—and to step back
from that precarious ledge, we need courageous
new leadership.
Reviving American excellence starts with rediscovering what it means to be American. We’ve celebrated our diversity for so long we’ve forgotten all the ways we’re alike. Diversity alone is not our strength: our strength comes from unity across diversity, our ability to put aside our differences in service of a shared identity and common goals.
If we resurrect what made us great, nobody can beat us.
That’s the power of American Exceptionalism.
