8. The Shining City on the Hill
meme is a very troubling one. The one that says the US is some better, smarter, more generous place (however you want to define "generous") It's the same one that Reagan used to say we are/could become/return to.

IMO it's want causes people to vote Republican against their economic interests.

Shining City should have been left in our history with the Puritans, where it belongs.
