Comment on I am an American. I used to be proud of my country. Now it feels like a turd circling the drain. Is there anything going on behind the scene that America is actually doing good in?

  What about being pretty good at starting unnecessary wars?

    Okay fair. And we make a good bomb, and a nice fighter jet. Our propaganda is effective. We do a lot of good in areas that are not good.

    The question pressed by the post? No there’s nothing exciting. Going on behind the scenes. It’s actually fucking worse when you look under the hood. His original description of a turd circling a drain is quite apt for the situation.
