Countries need good marketing, nowadays. All of our attention is spread so thin, that you have to actively compete, advertise, and build trust, to get the world to care about what you care about.

I kinda disagree. The US is still the freest and most optimistic country. I can't think of a single country that isn't dumber outside the vatican.
We don't get dragged to jail for thought crimes like the UK.
We didn't foist Cookie Banners on the world like the E.U. or muck up nearly every techological advancement by being either pessimistic or strangling all hope in soul sapping regulations and permitting.
Government corruption is actually surprisingly low, though getting worse.
We do have glaring problems but for the most part we know they are problems. Much of Europe just refuses to even acknowledge they have a problem.
The U.S. has a bunch of annoying Billionaires, because we are, for the most part, free to pursue big dreams here. How is it that we have something like 5-6 Rocket companies that are likely to succeed and Europe has one quasi state sponsored company that has a crap offering.
I agree that I don't like where the U.S. is headed, but also not sure where is legitimately better.
