Just something MAGA-people seem to have a hard time with sometimes. Probably not as much when Americans are speaking to themselves, but as a non-American, sometimes it’s challenging to get “those people” to admit that there is indeed anything wrong with the US. As in they won’t accept a single criticism, and will loudly proclaim “America is the greatest country in the world”, while wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat, which for me pretty explicitly means America isn’t great, if it has to be made to be such again.

    Is it peacetime? Because we’re the most peaceful we’ve ever been right now.

    Maybe with other countries. We seem pretty much on par with civil war days in terms of internal conflict.

      And there’s a bunch of proxy conflicts the US is definitely involved in and at least partly responsible for. Not to mention the “global war on terror”.

      Just because US soldiers aren’t dying en masse doesn’t mean it’s peacetime.
