Yep. Americans have been deluded and conned into thinking America is the good guy. Not since world war 2. America since then has been self righteous, condescending and in many cases downright evil. There is still time for us to change our ways.

Is this ONLY America? I think it's more like a world wide thing.
At the same time, the powers that be want free trade agreements and maximum freedom of movement for money and merchandise. But for people, it's walls, bullets and bombs. People are treated like livestock and those borders are our fences.
I find it sad to see how badly they want to cut the north and the south apart, either at the Rio Grande river or at the Mediterranean sea.

We did some bad things to Japanese citizens during WW2, but it’s a bit unfair to say we locked them in cages.

What I don't understand, or, should I write "what I don't agree with", is the word "we". Who is "we"? In USA there are good people and bad people. Neither of them is "America". There are those who are racist, intolerant, maybe even evil; and there are those who love their neighbors and even fight for their rights. Which one is "America"?
In my dilettante opinion, USA is, obviously, not "superior" to other countries, but it is a lot better than many of them. Sure, there was/is slavery, and oppression, and racism, but this is also the country that gifted the world with figures like John Adams, Lincoln, Luther King, Muhammad Ali, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Trumpism is not America, and is not what "we" are. We are not, and will never be perfect. But we are a whole lot better than a bunch of other countries!

It has been most of the history of this country.....

Yes indeedy

It's like we're just people instead of these extrodinary creatures our minds fantasize about. Yes this is us, no different than everyone else in the world.

and more than you mentioned

We are earning the old tag of " ugly American "

True..

Dying in desert heat is like dying of radiation cancer you're dead both ways
