How do you feel about the current state of the USA?

The US is a great country to live. Opportunity and such in terms of growth and becoming someone. However there is divide among people living here in terms of values, what they view as "right" or "wrong", and the perception of things.

Every country has its issues. Whether its certain people, situations, or events goin on. We just hear more about what goes on here than anywhere else because this is where we live and how whatever happens may potentially affect us.

If we could just keep our doors closed and only let in those we want, that'd be great.

This is still the greatest country, but the people are becoming so selfish that they are letting it slip away.

Stay off the MSM news and social media.

Are you some kind of engineer lobbyist?

liberals and conservatives are equally at fault. No one thinks for them self anymore. If you're a liberal than you believe the opposite of those damn conservatives because you are liberal...if you are conservative you believe the opposite of those damn liberals because you are conservative. Obviously this is an over generalization, but for the most part I find it to be true. A lot of my beliefs are in line with conservative thinking...other beliefs are in line with liberal thinking. But no....we have to pick a side

This makes me feel good about our past


This makes me feel good about our current direction.

Nah, he's just a baw who (rightly) understands that civilization is a thin veneer on the normal human condition.

Cut a major city off from power, water, and food and you'll quickly come to understand what I mean.

Some people get this. Most don't.

It’s easy to avoid the news and drama found in many social media outlets.
This country is as great as it’s ever been for normal hard working law abiding people

All you find on social media and the news is division and negativity. I still think it's the greatest country on earth and despite the flaws it's a great place to live. At least that's how I see it from Texas.

Pretty much this. But socially, it's the worst I've ever seen it, and it's sad.
