The whole "hating America" schtick is nothing more than an incredibly cynical way of shutting down criticism.
There is nothing more Un-American than the lie that you must accept your country as-is, faults and all, without license to offer so much as a shred of criticism. We do not have to choose between "status quo" and "worse". We can choose better.
If the time ever comes where "better" is truly not an option, then we will have fully transformed into the third world country that we've been so derisively invited to relocate to.
That's actually really well put.
Do you think Americans will use what last chance of hope is left to transform their country tho? I don't think better is an option without something really terrible happening.

Really? I find that very typical for Americans.
We do not have to choose between “status quo” and “worse”.
We don't?
Choosing between the status quo and worse is exactly how FPTP elections with unlimited corporate sponsorship works.
Can that change? Sure! No idea how.
Well some more hate would maybe people motive to stop their terrorist shithole from doing terrorist shithole things.
It doesn't work like that.
You are vastly more likely to become what people tell you you are than to go "Wow, people keep telling me I'm an asshole, I should try being nicer."
Not how that works
No, it doesn't. You'd think it should, but why would anyone give a shit. At least Russians and Chinese and back then the Nazis had the excuse that they'd get vanished over night.
