Stable, but on the cusp of trending downward.
Not enough people believe in the principles the nation was founded on, and a good many others attack these principles on a normal basis.

America is probably declining in terms of geopolitical influence, but I'm not sure if that's really the best way to judge a civilization. If we're all riding horses again in 50 years, I'll say we declined.

Depends on who you ask. Old bitter white guys will certainly tell you that this country is in steep decline. Everyone else will probably say it's ascending.

I don't know about that. I hear a lot about us running out of resources and how our middle class and poor are living worse than ever before from people that aren't old and white.

I think America's prominence in the world is on the decline, and I expect that trend to continue as other world economies (primarily China) continue to grow.
However, I think the quality of life in this country continues to improve and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. And really, that's the important part. Balancing those two, I went with "We're in a stable state and likely won't decline." |
