Uhhhhhhhhh, gotta say, I've never once heard NPR tell me that we're special or privilaged, or above the law. Or even should be.
Meanwhile our current president is a 34x convicted criminal and sexual predator.
......although to be fair, the democrats also had a sexual predator in the 60s (twice), and the 90s.
But I can't recall any democrat running on the platform of "we're better than them".
