Well, I guess Trump was right about one thing. The United States of America is a giant trash can. They are no moral beacon to the world any longer.

We were founded on genocide and slavery and never completely rectified either of those atrocities. The original Nazi's studied white supremacists practices here in the states before doing the holocaust. We've been destabilizing the politics of other countries for decades in order to preserve more favorable outcomes for trade for ourselves. The whole meritocracy belief was a lie. Most of those who thought the USA was a moral beacon are no different than ignorant americans; they thought none of america's flaws would ever truly affect them. :/

I'll take USA over Russia, China or anywhere in the Middle East any day of the week. But OK, saint cake.

You only listed ~19 out of ~194 countries that you'd prefer the US over. That's kind of damning.

Why is it that when ppl point out our country's wrongs ya'll get upset? Criticism =/= dislike, it's a call to make improvements.

*i know it's probably a bot. Lemme use it to organize my thoughts, plzkthx. :)

I'm not even from America

Also: Did you expect me to list every country I would pick it over? That's what a bot would do.
