We were the first to figure out powered flight, and to this day we are the undisputed kings of the sky. We were not only the first to put a man on the moon, but we did it multiple times, just because we could, and to fuck on those commies across the Bering Strait. We are the founders of the modern democratic tradition. Yes, it has severe issues, no system doesn't, but we have managed to keep one contiguous democracy for two hundred and fifty ish years, and earned it with a justified and organized revolution, led by people who wanted to help their countrymen and make a new system for a new world. Despite the retarded two party deadlock, despite the endless infighting, despite the active undermining from scumbag billionaires and Idpol degenerates, we've lasted a hell of a lot longer than any other democracy has, and we didn't give up halfway through our revolution to declare some asshole Emperor or El Presidente for life, or waste millions in taxpayer money on keeping figureheads around for no fucking reason at all.
