As someone who is not American, I take no firm stance - although, of what media I do often read and am exposed to, things seem to be heading in the same dire direction of my own country. Positives I see of the U.S. is the liberties offered by the constitution (although often met with people who would seek to undermine them), including legal enshrinement for free speech and expression (political dissidents don't risk being thrown in prison simply for what they say, at least not yet; even if I am of the understanding as an outsider that some of the biggest American businesses seem to increasingly want to regulate the political attitudes of their employees and tie employment opportunities to political affiliation), as well as a right to bear arms. I also take some solace (although we are not politically homogeneous here) that, even in the most recent political election, Trump (flawed as he may be, but still a good representative of many of our values) resonated with enough of the electorate to receive (if we assume current voting figures to be correct, which many people here don't) ~45% of the popular vote. If you believe America is the most based country, I'm in no position to dispute it, as I am not American. I do not know how things are there on-the-ground, and my position is inherently biased simply by the media environment that I experience as an Anglophone.
