Being an Italian and knowing roman history, I can say that in my opinion America is showing the classic symptoms of an empire in decline —Commander-Bly5052

Bit sick of hearing it to be completely honest —seesnawsnappy

I’m so f*cking tired of hearing anything about american politics or their social issues. Like shut tf up, everytime you go on the internet you can’t escape it. But the most annoying part is how they act like their problems are unprecedented and unique. —opticfibre18

I knew there were lots of idiots, but the sheer quantity is mind blowing. And how so many Americans just can’t handle a view that’s different to their own or at least allow others to have a different view, is crazy. —jajamochi

UK citizen. Waiting anxiously for our leaders to spot what is happening and say hold my beer. —Analyst_Rude

From Australia, I always used to look up to the USA. Now I just feel sorry for them.

I’ve never been so grateful to live in a country that has healthcare for everyone, affordable university and good social welfare programs. Plus, guns – I feel so much safer knowing that the chances of me getting shot in public are virtually 0.

America is just a sh*t show now. —dudidudisela

I can’t believe how Americans can politicise EVERYTHING?! Wearing masks, postal service and before these newer topics universal healthcare, free (or at least vastly cheaper) uni, higher taxation etc. are a reality in most developed countries, but in America it seems like you can just scream socialism and people are against everything. From my German point of view the two party system and electoral votes is seriously fucked up and even the moderate democrats are pretty right-wing. Also, the recent handling of protesters and even the media, combined with Trump seemingly preparing the notion that the election will be rigged and he might not accept it, really feels like a third world country going back to a fascist regime. Although I don’t think that this will really happen, its just scary that it feels like a possibility. —raddmusic

There isn’t a single thing that they can agree on, even basic human rights for people is a topic of discussion. There’s way too many idiots for a country that is so far developed —Atharax10

I used to really admire america. The last few years has changed that perception drastically. The blatantly corrupt politics seem to have the whole country in such a tight grip that from the outside it looks like a 3rd world country. Your president is lying constantly and obviously yet he has outspoken followers in the millions who just disregards his lies.

There seems to be no safetynet for the average person at all and you seem to rely on luck to get through your life. “I hope I dont lose my job, if i do i am f*cked”, “if i get sick i am f*cked”, “nvm the ambulance, ill call an uber, id rather die than pick up the hospital bill”, “oh sh*t i had a kid, better start saving tens of thousands for college”.

Your police force is ridiculous. People with not even a high school diploma can become cops? Are you serious? Shooting people left and right.

Gun laws are out of control obviously.

Religion also. It plays such a huge role in your society to the point that it actually affects elections. In “the greatest country on earth” in 2020. It is insane. —wangsigns
