There ain't nobody 'looking up' to US these days, where does this fairy tale idea come from? People around the world are not dumb, whole world is completely fed up to the brim with direct and indirect attacks from US in past 2 years, sowing chaos, conflict and death. We just wan to be left alone, and thats it. Not something US can do but one can always dream right.

There are many places which are more democratic and free than US ever was, its not a secret information but you won't hear about it in latest hollywood flick or fox/cnn. One only needs to travel a bit outside US bubble with open mind.

US system of 2 parties is pretty dumb if you think about it, artificial in pretty bad ways and not really transferable elsewhere. Constitution and laws which are less than toilet paper when power is taken by sufficiently motivated bad actor, 0 working checks and balances. It could have been worse of course if thats how we want to rank it, but we are not even in the half of it and something tells me we haven't seen the worst of it yet.

I'm not sure there's anyone left who does that without the USA army kidnapping their president or similar things.

The author of this statement is obviously American
