A fall from greatness is inevitable and I’m afraid that the fall of America, with all of her hubris, is going to be spectacularly bloody and unpleasant for everyone. :(
When exactly was this greatness America is falling from? Was it back when things were built off the backs of slaves? Was it back when women were not allowed to vote or be professors? Was it back when interracial marriage was illegal? Was it back when gay marriage was illegal? When was it?
I get what you’re saying, but the greatness I’m speaking of refers to geopolitical and economic greatness, and I hold no illusions that it is wholesome.
To literally answer your question, USA as a superpower came to be following the Second World War, more or less.
I get it. Under the harsh control of fathers who beat their wives(considered perfectly acceptable in society) while taking advantage of black and Chinese laborers and pursuing coverups to further the chemical industry at the expense of its citizen’s health, we should all be ecstatic to fall from that tanted and corrupt “greatness”.
