Here’s a roundup of editorials that remind us of the values we should cherish as a country and how our democracy needs to recover.
Opinions from the Left:
From CNN: “We know, deep down, that repression is not the wave of the future. We know that the desire for freedom is not confined to, or owned by, any culture; it is the inborn hope of our humanity."
2. The point McCain and Bush made is much bigger than Trump
From The Washington Post: "The challenge that McCain threw down a week ago, and that former president George W. Bush joined Thursday, is very much about an idea. It is about whether democracy, on the defensive around the world, can recover its confidence. That in turn depends in large part on whether the United States will honor what McCain called "the obligations of international leadership and our duty to remain 'the last best hope of earth.' "
3. Bush and McCain articulate the case against Trumpism
From The L.A. Times: "On Monday, the 2008 GOP presidential nominee, Arizona Sen. John McCain, delivered a tough rebuke to a president who has coddled dictators, insulted allies and infected American foreign policy with xenophobia and a backward-looking anti-globalism."
