America Is Exceptional, Except When Conservatives Have Their Way

Peter Daou makes the case that Conservative ideology and governance is destroying America.

Waging a war on women and the environment, conservatives contribute to America’s decline.

The American right is fiercely wedded to the notion of American exceptionalism, but there’s nothing exceptional about undermining women’s rights. Nor is there anything exceptional about blithely ignoring the scientific consensus that we’re endangering humanity’s future.

On a range of issues, American conservatives are taking their country backward, undoing generations of progress.
