When was it, again, that the United States stopped being "Great"?

[jc456]

America never has been great.

Why does the world want to come here?

Why does the world want to come here?

When that was the case, it was because our foreign policy destabilized their countries. But people leave this country every year, and right now people aren't really eager to come here.

America never has been great.

It's just greater than the second place country and leave it at that.

A conspicuous distinction between advanced democracies and authoritarian regimes is the citizen’s right to criticize their political leaders without fear of being targeted for petty vendettas or worse. Rather, in democratic nations, those political leaders are subject to the law, although they may throw their tantrums at being convicted by juries of their peers when they cannot evade trial, as they vilify any judicial system that does not kowtow to their whims. They also contrive methods to intimidate and subjugate the legislative branch.

Authoritarian regimes are often characterized by submissive personality cults who venerate a “Dear Leader’ who exploits their sense of grievance by demonizing the “other,” and conjuring up a paradise lost, a mythical golden age when their ilk was supreme, a time to which their El Supremo promises retrogression.

Bullying is the customary means of wielding power, blatant lies in copious abundance, and, of course, the targeting of academia, science, and medicine wherever empirical data contradicts their self-serving ideological dogma. Some may champion a sham meritocracy, one in which pretexts to severely restrict the talent pool are concocted and intellectual potential suppressed.

Was the United States “Great” when one gender and one race enjoyed dominion over all others? Before efforts to redress the inherent, enduring, inflicted inequalities were undertaken?

The usual suspects need to cling to the illusion of superiority that years and years of their de facto and de iure discrimination conferred upon them.

The racial and gender profile that wields dominion in wealth and power in America bleats that it is being persecuted.

Shouldn't White males find that embarrassing?

Copious lies? Like, take the vaccine and you won’t get Covid, or take the vaccine and you can’t spread Covid, or there is no crisis at the border or Intfoducing a “Build Back Better” $6.4 trillion grab at power, or the inflation is only transitory, or the president is in excellent health, Hunter .Biden scandal was made up, the Steele Dossier didn’t come from the Democrats or the pull out of Afghanistan was a complete success, even though we left people there to die at the hands of the Taliban, or Covid was never and no possible it could not come from a lab in the city it started that held virus research, or we never put pressure on social media to delete post that went against our narratives? Thoses types of lies?

Neither party has a high ground they are both so low and untrustworthy, yet idiots will continue to support them.

I’m actually quite happy some of Trumps and Biden’s promises have been broken, that is a relief.

When was it, again, that the United States stopped being "Great"?​

It’s amusing to see any libturd “ask” that faux “question,” since most liberals apparently deny that the United States was ever “great.”

You know; the framers were all “old white men” and many of them were slave holders.

In actuality, some of them were slave holders; but not all.

In actuality, most of the Framers were actually fairly young.

Also, the accuracy of the term “Make America Great Again,” may suggest that it had lost its greatness. That much is perhaps a fair criticism. Or, it may simply be a short hand way of saying that we lost our edge. I presume it was always meant to convey the latter.

Perhaps some of you leftist goobers recall that the U.S. Constitution was crafted, in part, in order to “create a more perfect Union.” If it had been “perfect” in a literal sense, nothing could conceivably make it “more perfect.” So most of us grasp that the words were a bit of rhetorical flourish.

It thus seems pretty clear that it was intended to mean, “hey, our Union is pretty good already but it has room to move it closer to perfection.” Again, a mere rhetorical or linguistic flair.

So, why the trivial objection as a “topic” for an entire thread?

Greatness is a matter of perception. We stopped being a democracy on Nov 22, 1963, and have surrendered to a takeover with our acquiescence.

 

[whitehall]

America stopped being great when old Joe became the laughing stock of the entire world while he let a couple of million criminals into the U.S. with open borders. America stopped being great when dark state radicals used fake documents to try to undermine the president of the United States. Want more?

 

[Travis Bickle]

when the narcissistic president things he can rule by issuing orders that he cannot issue.

what has he got to lose. Nothing but his dignity which he never had.

that what makes America great.

Bill Clinton Executive Orders​

President Bill Clinton issued a total of 364 executive orders during his tenure from 1993 to 2001. These orders were numbered from 12834 to 13197.

President George W. Bush signed a total of 291 executive orders during his presidency from 2001 to 2009. President Barack Obama signed 277 executive orders between 2009 and 2017. President Donald Trump signed 220 executive orders during his first term from 2017 to 2021. As of 2025, President Joe Biden had signed 160 executive orders during his term from 2021 to 2025.

AI-generated answer. Please verify critical facts.

The day the country was no longer ours. Why else can't we see it all? It isn't rocket science.

This is the thought of a little of the demafascit cult. They prey on losers, that can’t succeed and get them to believe this sort of thing, so they they can get them on board with their fascist ideology

Wow, aren't you even slightly embarrassed by that claim? I mean, I know you think you are attacking Trump and the J6ers, but you've actually only succeeded in describing to a tee exactly what Biden and the Left did in office these past four years.

• You jailed people for free speech, then savagely trampled their legal rights.
• Biden shadow-banned people questioning the election and his family's criminal activity.
• You targeted political opponents, candidates, and their supporters trying to destroy your own opposition for a clear shot at stealing raw political power.

The very moment DIVERSITY was introduced and Mexico started invading.
