I couldn´t agree more!

American history is too short to be great. But anyway, US was great, as a Chinese, we know 100 years ago US was good to help China build colleges and educationed a lot of elites. The greatness reach peak during WW2, she funded China to fight against Japan and help recover of EU.

Ill help you pack.

Uh this is the whole joke behind TheDailyShow interviewing MAGA cultists before and during the 2016 election and asking what was great about America before. Hilarious and apparently news worthy.

No, it has You haven't

Anyone who doesn't like America's founding principles is free to leave.

greatness is like happiness: it does not last. Fragments of them exist only.

Early on, America aspired to greatness. But it became a capitalist country, rather than a people's representative democracy.

He stole my take!

Compared to which country that you think is great? America is unlike any other nation in history, full of different ethnicities and religions. It's more open, more accepting than any other nation. If we just kept our focus on liberty and equality under the law, we'd be great.

America is great at starting wars in the Middle East, supporting dictators and supporting a terrorist state:Isreal

Maybe if you place your expectations far enough outside of reality you can be disappointed in anything.

A distinct possibility

no the USA has never been great. It started with genocide on american indigenous peoples and since then it has been global terror extortion espionage warcrimes and constant domestic terror and violations of human rights -the USA is a rogue and failed nation
