For all our heinous fuck ups we generally rebound from them and do the right thing eventually and we generally step up to the plate as a country when needed. That, and despite those heinous fuck ups we have come a long way considering we are a young nation founded as a colony for the old hands of world power.
We are the kid in the big picture. Sure we as a nation have our problems Nd our hypocrisies but it's worth noting we inherited a lot of them and we have changed many of them in much shorter time frames than the old countries that we inherited them from. We had a lot less time to grow than others yet we have done so at a much better clip when you factor in the timelines. That to me means the nation is still what it was always meant to be, a place of and for hope. I truly believe that most of us strive for a good ideal even though we have yet to live up to it.
We aren't doing so good now, but if history is any kind of indication, we'll fix it and deal with the next problem on the list. It's a rocky road, but no one said it was going to be easy.
