Is America still the greatest? If not, can it be? Or is arguing which nation is "the greatest" a moot point anyway?
All I can say is that there are things that other countries are better than us at. We're also stepping over our own values, and our own Constitution. Patriotism means seeing the faults of this country and wanting to better it. Blind patriotism is like a crackhead mother. She says she loves her kid but she overlooks his whooping cough and bruises from his abusive father.

I don't see what's so great about it anymore.
The general population is getting poorer and poorer, hate their jobs and are overworked. Your vast middle class that once was the envy of the world is mostly gone already. You never solved your health care problem. Your public spending is out of control with little to show for it in terms of infrastructure development and public services quality. Your people are demoralized and don't look forward to the future.
Don't elect Hillary you dimwits. TPP/TTIP is going to take Canada down with you.

We are the greatest, however, that's only because we're not facing any particularly stiff competition. Look at the other "Superpowers". China is a corrupt, overpopulated, scumhole with a government that's all bark no bite. Russia has its share of corruption, and is poor as all fuck, although they're improving by the day. And Europe? Not only are they divided and weak militarily, their only redeeming factors, the culture, people, and history is all being overrun by subhumans. If America gets better, the rest of the developed world will likely follow suit, so we cannot fuck this up. Trump NEEDS to be elected.

I somewhat agree. If america is not the greatest, then who is? Canada and other "socialist paradises" are the immediate answers but they really aren't all that great.
God damnit I loved America since I was a kid and I don't give a single shit how many niggers, third world leeches or liberalfags are infesting it, it's still the greatest country ever in my mind and forever will be dun even care how gay that sounds

depends on your definition of "greatest". Greatest at what? Our economy is the biggest given our vast amount of resources and our countries spending power. Our countries military is the greatest because we spend more then the next ten countries combined. Our political system.. eh.
It's hard to point to a country that's better than us, but we aren't really improving all that much.

It's not the rest of the world
We have always been better, it's just meaning less and less these days because the rest of the world is just getting worse and worse.
