In a sense Carter's presidency was pivotal the last time, because it meant everyone could feel patriotic. Now only some can, and they will be heavily shamed for it by the richest and most culturally powerful people. It'll be a much smaller affair as a consequence.
In a way, the World Cup tourists are giving us what we can't give to our own nation this time around: honest joy in the thing that is America.
