Why? Because the alternate vision is: MAGA! The passions of MAGA are hatred and fear, not love. The goal of MAGA is not love of our sacred ideals, but the stirring of old passions and prejudices. As such, MAGA is regressive. Whereas love of our ideals has always been a path to progress.
McCain reminds us of that. He says we should "not despair of our present difficulties" because we can always believe "in the promise and greatness of America."
But finally remember one more important point. The contrast of these two visions is not LIBERAL vs CONSERVATIVE. John McCain was a conservative. MAGA purports to be conservative. It is the job of the conservative force to uphold tradition. So you decide. Which vision truly upholds American tradition: Love or Hate, Ideals or Prejudices, Progress or Regression? You decide which is true and which is false.(Note: You can view every article as one long page if you sign up as an Advocate Member, or higher).
