Der Mann will sein gutes Amerika zurück und ist sichtlich frustriert, wie verkommen die USA sind. Er argumentiert sogar utiliaristisch, weshalb die USA eine Vorbildfunktion ausfüllen, aber man spürt durch, dass er es moralisch so empfindet.
Schon dass einer wie er es nicht mehr wagt, Moral überhaupt per se einzufordern, nicht einmal in diesem Interview, zeigt das Problem der US-Eliten in seiner Tragweite.
Vermutlich erinnert sich in Washington kaum noch jemand daran, dass die Ideologie des American Exceptionalism auf einer moralischen Maxime beruht: der, die Verpflichtung zu haben, besser zu sein als die anderen.
Kein Wunder, dass die USA so stark an Unterstützung verloren haben weltweit. Ihr einstmals sehr guter Ruf liegt in Trümmern. Und so wird sich das nicht mehr ändern können. Nichts Gutes wird daraus entstehen.
