Germansplaining: Anti-Americanism is back

I think even the Americans who make the jingoistic comebacks deep down know our government has made a bunch of shitty decisions that put us in this situation. I think some of us feel defensive because we don't sign off on a lot of the horrible shit our government does(Guantanamo, tapping merkels phone, ect.) or we are lied to to get consent (Iraq)

All presidents since GWB JR have promised change, and to get us out of these wars, and focus on our own problems. Time and time again when we put these people in office they go back on their word and just follow the same old playbook.

We are stuck in a slow decline, we know it, and voting isn't fixing the problem. Doesn't help that our media is so focused on profit and clicks that they would rather keep us arguing amongst each other with culture war bullshit than talk about fixing things.

Anyway, Part of me will be relieved when someone else is king of the hill and we Americans can just go back to our corner of the world and focus on economy.
