Maybe, but that's the only options on the table, someone is going to be the world super power, would you rather it not be us?

No, I would not.

I think history shows the US as the sole superpower as spreading a lot of destruction and damage, across the globe and here at home.

I prefer a multipolar world as a check on unbridled and unaccountable power.

That gets into the historical trend called Hegemony.
Every time a world power declines and is replaced by another there is tremendous war and turmoil globally.
IE, take Rome. When they were in charge there was tremendous global advancement. When they fell we got The Dark Ages.
England was the power when my parents were born. Their decline was marked by the horror of WWI and WWII.
We took over after that. We will not last forever.

I would rather we gutted the federal bureaucracy. I would rather we had nearly complete transparency in our government. I would rather we knew the names of the people with money interests in all the wars we were involved in after Korea. I would rather we were a Christian and moral people.

Instead we are a failing economic zone with little national unity ruled by low/ no moral corrupt leaders and thirty four trillion five hundred billion dollars in debt.
