When did America stop being great?

When did America stop being great?

OP's birth

It was never great.

April 19, 1775

This but unironically.

The United States got progressively worse over several stages in its early history. The dates this happened are as follows:

January 2, 1788
May 23, 1788
June 25, 1788
November 21, 1789
June 1, 1796
April 30, 1812
December 10, 1817
June 15, 1836
December 14, 1819
March 3, 1845
December 29, 1845

It was never great.

To me it was the S&L Crisis of the late 80's. Cemented America as a debauched nation consumed with greed.

1963

Ignore the faggots in this thread.

Everyone knows deep down that after the 08 election, communists stabbed us all in the back.

2001

9/11 destroyed this country and the terrorists won. Look at it. Look at its current state and tell me you don't want to go back too.

1965

yup

The USA definitely developed more faults as it got older, but the whole semi-lawless playground attitude kept it at least fun. Now were a panicked, terrified nation that is afraid to be reckless and trusting of each other.

September 18 1947

It was never great.

"America" doesn't really exist. It's a very fragile alliance of separate nations that, despite largely being settled by peoples from the British Isles, have never really had anything in common with one another.

Read Colin Woodard's "American Nations."

With Nixon's trip to China.
