What I believe will be our downfall is that Americans hate each other way worse than any foreign army who has guns and tanks pointed towards us…..
I hope I am wrong about that.

If you really think about it though, Americans never really had anything close to total solidarity (WW2 was probably the closest time in our history)
We're more defined by sub region (northeast, south, midwest, west) than a country in totality; and the same holds true for any country for the most part.
When foreigners thinks of America, many focus on the northeasterners that are overrun with crime and governed by charlatans that live like they're still in the Victorian era, and quite frankly, give the rest of us a bad name...
Southerners probably possess the most versatile easy going culture of anyone; we'd have more common ground & get along better with similarly employed people (farmers, craftsmen, tradesmen, etc.) from anywhere else in the world than we'd do so with other Americans from different regions.
On the other hand, if you were to throw the western/pacific free spirited hippies, queers, socialist wannabees, etc. in a room together with their foreign counterparts, they'd probably all kill each other (queers for palestine... lol, I'd buy tickets to watch that union...)
