    What a shitty take. Imagine betting on something with a poor human rights record and countless privacy violation. America may have it’s faults, but it will get ironed out like it always does. I’m hoping for everybody’s sake that China doesn’t become the new global superpower. America has the soft power thing down to the t at least.

    As for the other claims you made, source?

    In my humble opinion Bush kind of fucked America up, but that is fixable.

      Dude. I live in the US, and would like it to be a super-awesome place that genuinely leads the world in morality and prosperity.

      Unfortunately, my nation has been going down the toilet. If you haven’t noticed, things like ICE’s raid on Hyundai, the undeclared war and crimes upon Venuzela, over 1,800 people disappeared from Alligator Alcatraz, Mike Johnson refusing to open congress, the SNAP denial, and other bouts of malicious stupidity are very bad signs for the future.

      In any case, I don’t like China, but it is likely to be a superpower for awhile until India or someone else takes the crown. The crown was America’s to lose, and I am pretty sure we are losing it.
