In all honesty, I think US measures incredibly poorly in a lot of the metrics that truly matter - healthcare, education, gun culture, equal treatment etc, but it's wonderful in a million other ways, food, entertainment, general vibe, etc, hence why for a European like me, it's a perfect place to visit on holiday but it would take a lot of convincing to get me to live there.

It kind of surprises me that people think America should be more like England than it is. As people have said there are huge differences between areas within the country let alone Europe. The people here don’t want to be like England and really don’t give a shit how they’re viewed. It’s still evolving, who knows where we’ll be in 50 years

We're a tolerable country to the extent a terrorist blows up kids and we light candles singing "Don't look back in anger" or 7yr old Emily Jones who was stabbed in the neck by a somalian woman and nothing, no uproar.

I'm wondering how close the action of invoking the 25th amendment is...??

what it needed was a strong leader to stand up and stop all this from happening ? Barack Obama please come forward and take over your country

They may not give a shit about how they're viewed, but the progressive position on things like healthcare and education are still, on average, hugely popular policy ideas, despite your mainstream media treating them as if they're crazy, fringe ideas. You don't lose your identity, as an example, if you stop your citizens becoming bankrupt, selling everything they own, because a loved one got cancer. America can keep being America and still create a better society for it's citizens.

You can also chuck in gated communities with armed civilian guards who are first response. Police second.

Florida might as well be a different country.

Probably no chance.

There's too much truth here.

Sometimes I feel the US has been wound up so tight they believe everything they're told. They're constantly bombarded with different messaging, the truth or important aspects of it, are lost in the maelstrom.
