Mounting costs of living, unaffordable housing and healthcare, poor work-life balance, political divide that's bordering on the point of civil war. The US is not adequately providing the quality of life that you expect from a wealthy nation. I'm truly considering getting the hell out and never coming back. Everyone was saying that it's gonna get better when Trump gets back into office. Things are NOT better. They are worse than they ever been. I hate to say it, but we all got duped.

Define failing. For whom is it good, or bad right now? Trumplethinskin keeps swearing it's a golden age and to be fair it is if you're incredibly wealthy. The rules have been rewritten so that you can buy the laws that support your biggest wet dream with no repercussions. HUGE corporations pay 0 in taxes. Billionaires pay a lower tax rate than a public school teacher. Larry Ellison, Jeff Bezos and Rupert Murdoch own a huge share of American media and Mr. Ellison is the one chiefly responsible for getting rid of Colbert, cuckolding CBS news, and killing "60 Minutes". You have similar monopoly problems with pharmaceuticals and groceries etc. Too little competition in a capitalist society in which the wealthy can also buy the rules to circumvent any limiting regulations means it will be VERY hard indeed to force society to care about the average guy again. All that energy about a thriving middle class that was in the US a few decades ago left and went to China looking for cheap plentiful labor and when that labor becomes too expensive Then the Elon Musks and Jeff Bezos of the world will move on to the next. The Epstein class is a plague of locusts right now swallowing everything, and it's not only the US that is suffering.
The British Empire ended after WW2 was over and they didn't have a seat at the table reshaping global borders. They were essentially bankrupt and their influence around the world was gone. The US is dangerously close to bankrupt, and you could argue that their influence is waning. Negotiating trade deals, nope. Nobody seems interested in trading with the US. Building a coalition to invade a terrorist country, nope. Nobody seems interested in assisting in any US conflict. Tourism to the US is way down as it is no longer a place people want to visit. The US doesn't have the same influence it had 10-15 years ago. The US won't go away but it will become just another first world country like the UK.
America has fallen apart where have you been
The only thing keeping it going is the little people in our country that refuse to give up and become followers if evil
From our fake government from our health care to the food that we eat to our morals values and ethics as humans
From our teachers to teach our children
To the people that will not stand up for who we are why we're here
It's just a matter of time before the wheels come off
We all know that there's going to be tough times senseless death
But no matter what good will always win over evil it just takes time we should be spending that time right now making that happen for our kids our grandkids their kids their grandkids for everybody's kids
The US has had many deadly challenges, much worse than today. The Revolution was uncertain of victory. Then the Civil War and all that led up to it and all that occurred after it. Then WWII, another direct threat to our existence as a nation and not all that long ago actually.
The US had major financial troubles in the Great Depression more in the 1970s, the 1990s, 2001, 2009 with the Great Recession. Now we have unnecessarily gone through major inflation due to Biden. But other than the upcoming crisis with the debt and the ongoing Identity Politics started by Obama to win his second term, this is normal in the US. Settle down and keep focused.
This is a statistical fallacy. The probability of the US succeeding through all of these profound historical adversities CONDITIONAL on the US still existing in its current form today is 1. Past performance is no guarantee of future returns.
It is currently doing it so blatantly that that not only are we saying it, the entire world is grinning behind our backs, or others right at us. Greed has collapsed every lost civilization in past history and I don't see where that will change.
Things will continue to get worse as long as Republicans are controlling the White House and Congress. This has been true since Reagan was elected. Republicans cut taxes on the wealthy and blow up the deficit, then the next Democratic President has to clean up the mess. But no one has been nearly as destructive as Trump.
I would agree if we haven’t heard that same rhetoric over and over for the past 250 years.
The reality is: no one is making a b-line for the borders to go live in a better country.
Whatever it is, it’s not THAT bad.
You just disprove of the man in charge because you didn’t vote for him and now you desperately want to peddle the rhetoric that he failed.
Except he hasn’t. Things are what they’ve always been. Shaky at best. But still functional.
If we're talking about living standards, people often say they're not as good as they used to be. But honestly, what country has seen its living standards consistently improve over the last 20- 30 years? There aren't many. I still think living standards in the U. S. are quite good, and there are still many people who want to live there.
No. America's best days are ahead.
Hopeless delusion
Nice try
Oh, c'mon. Trump's bust in stone would be at least 10 times bigger than the other alleged 'presidents' ...
Yes things n the USA are failing. Some items include: most of the world is pissed off at us, failing to assist Ukraine, high grocery prices, increasing national debt, an idiot in the white house, a Supreme Court that is political and not rational, high gas prices higher electricity costs, starving out Cuba, a dysfunctional Congress, failing to endorse clean energy... the list goes on how much more space do I have?
America has been a failing nation for a long time. I just hope that someone eventually comes along and gets us back in order. As much as I like Trump, I don't think he understands the gravity of the situation we are in domestically.

Where are you going to go that’s better? Let’s hear it and please tell us why it’s better.
Just about any and every other wealthy nation is better, my friend. Why? Because they aren't corrupt, and actually care about the people, not just profit. Other wealthy nations don't have obscene costs of food, housing, and healthcare, and people who live there actually get something of value for their tax dollars. Imagine that.
Everyone in the world can see it is declining. 'Failing'? I couldn't possibly tell you from the outside.
America is actually growing at the moment, but I agree you specifically should get out.
A disturbingly large amount of Americans believe a civil war may come.
Nope. troubled.
You can thank trump for this
Adios. don't let the door hit you on the way out.
Real america is located in the middle east.
Definitely.
