I’ve already said this country is no longer the greatest. I loved Italy and would happily there if I had the funding.
Yes America has lost it. But not cause of Trump. We were lost since 2000.
No.... It's not.
We were one of, if not the greatest country in history at one time. I really believe that. We weren't perfect of course.
But we put a man on the moon. We developed technologies the likes the world had never seen. We advocated for the causes of freedom and democracy.
Then.. In our hubris, our stupidity. We destroyed it.
Trumps just a symptom of it, it's not his fault. It's our fault. The American people collectively over the past 50 years or so.
We became complacent in our own greatness, became certain that we were the best without thinking it took any intelligence to keep it that way.
Now the very things that made America great, freedom, capitalism, etc, are the primary tools being used to destroy us from within.
Sorry don't mind my little rant. It's just... I love America. I really do. And it hurts to see what's happening to it. And it particularly hurts to see some of the greatest efforts to destroy the country come from those who dare to call themselves patriots while trying to undermine and circumvent the systems that make America what it is.
