"A nation feels shame when its people recognize they have failed to live up to their principles, to the image of themselves as a noble people pursuing a better future. In both cases [individual and nation], the feeling of shame motivates an individual or a nation to change, to improve. A true patriot has a capacity to feel both pride and shame in his country," writes H. David Baer in The Bulwark, assessing the Hungarian election.

I wonder if America is feeling shame 15 months into Trump's second term?
