America is the most democratic of all the super powers.

I'm also pretty sure that all countries with better equality and democracy rely on American military / NATO for their national security.

America looks pretty good to me.

It's not really hard to be the most democratic superpower when you're the only superpower; we're also the least democratic superpower. China, India, Russia, and the EU are only considered "potential superpowers."

And frankly, most of the EU nations are routinely rated better regarding democracy than the US, which in recent years generally is considered a "flawed democracy" rather than a "full democracy".

Bro, I'm in Texas, arguably the most American state. We live in a shit hole run by fascists.

If can distance yourself from reality for a moment, the sheer absurdity is hilarious. The dry, factual tone is what really makes it

As long as he's the one that's forced to fly it, then I'm right there with you partner.

Please, congress. Make it happen.
