This is like Michelle Obama. She hated America until her husband became President. Then only after her husband was named President did she think the country was great. It's all, me me me. Narcissistic behavior galore.
No system is perfect and America is fucked up in ways we can disagree with. But, America is great because of the principles of this country. It is the tip of the spear of classical liberalism and is sort of the science project of the world of liberal ideology. If America falls, so to will the values that it holds. Even in Europe. Europe doesn't have the same type of principles we do and is far more susceptible to collectivism and populism based on philosophy and law.
This is what makes America great. America was great, even when it had slaves, because the principles called for the eventual end of slavery. America is great with all the fuck ups we have now, because as long as we stick to the foundational principles, we will continue to move forward towards more liberty, more justice, more pursuit of happiness.
