Imho the "greatest" thing about the USA is how over our entire history African-Americans have achieved greater and greater measures of equality. (We've still got a long way to go and I actually think hope this is just one of those BAD steps backwards like all the bullshit in the 1920s. But still, compare how far we've made it together compared to say, Romani, Basques, Catalans and Bretons in Europe.)

the *second* greatest thing about us is that as an inherently hybrid nation, we're not anchored to any one set of traditions.

the *third* greatest thing about us is our national parks.

And I could go down the list, but you get the picture; I feel that *literally everything great or good* about the USA has been thoroughly crapped on by this Administration.
