Not sure why you were downvoted, this is exactly how I and many friends I talk to feel.
Si vis pacem para bellum, and there will be war. I honestly am unable to think of a scenario that will prevent a collapse of at least the US democracy, if not the rest of the world with it (because let's face it, the US picked up the tab to ensure the freedom of democracies while us Europeans stood aside). The only thing capable of stopping the spiral towards death is if the Democrats win a solid majority in November... but that is completely unrealistic.
I used to be a pro-American when I was a child blinded by US propaganda and television. Americans are heroes are what I always thought.!
Then the Iraq, Afghanistan wars, the coups in Libya and the Syrian War - encouraged via Obama's so-called 'moderate rapist rebels' completely changed my mind. What CNN said was completely different from what my Libyan and Syrian colleagues said. So Much Lying. It was around that time I did extensive reading of American history and realised I was a moron.

Cite! The US does anything it wants to keep corporate power corporate. We topple lots of democracies. US is squarely imperialist.
See my comment about Smedley Butler from earlier, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31469671
Sure, the US was somewhat imperialist a century ago, but that's long gone.
