Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I don’t know why everyone thinks America is in such deep trouble. Our medium family income, still way higher than rest of world. The number of people who starve to death in America is rock-bottom compared to basically everywhere in Asia and Africa. And since the 1970s crime has been on a steady downward trajectory.
Our country was doing just fine people just think that it was going to the shitter so that they could sell your snake oil 
I'm not sure why you are getting downvoted. The general outline you point out about the trajectory of things (crime in particular) is very true. One thing that runs counter is quality of life and income inequality have not been on good paths.
Of course, we shouldn't be comparing ourselves to the worst examples we can find, but the best and striving for that. As others have pointed out, there are examples in Europe.
Lastly, donvict and fElon and Putin hope to break/reverse the trends that are good and accelerate the bad ones.
Europe still exists you know. Just because we're not the worst country doesn't mean everything is golden.
Well, donvict, fElon, and Putin hope to change that situation regarding Europe.
But we don’t have the excuse that Germany did in the 1920s when they let Hitler take over. Our situation isn’t anywhere near bad enough to turn our trust over to such a mad man.
Your President has attacked its best friends and neighbours. It is attempting to dismantle all the things that kept the country just fine, as a country you've missed every opportunity to stop it, now may be the last chance to slow it or mitigate it. You don't know what you've got til' it's gone, so all I can say is, good luck.
