I’m definitely ready to hear this, have heard it, know it, and hope it changes. Under our current political system it never will. We’re just an oligarchy in a trench coat at this point.
As an American, I’m not convinced we can be anything close to the greatest country. We are incapable of solving massive problems that should be abundantly obvious. And it’s not just the government, it’s also a huge number of dumb civilians that don’t want to educate themselves on how our own systems are failing.
Many countries have hard material problems holding them back. The US doesn’t. Abundant resources and fertile land, an existing vast and diverse economy, and a huge amount of wealth for investment. The US has more raw potential than any other country even now. The problem is people and culture. Lincoln was right on the money - no external threat can really undo the US. It will come from within.
USA could be, but isn’t the greatest country in the world.
