usually, I’m talking normal timeline USA

Ah yes just ignore the blatant counterexample.

There's no other timeline genius, this is what the US system had been building up to for decades. This is the intended result, not an accident.

You know, Sparta was the actually most peaceful city in Ancient Greece (usually, I'm talking when they're not at war).

Edit: Also, there definitely is an algorithm that can determine if any other algorithm will halt or not (usually, I'm talking when you're not feeding its own source code back into itself).

Telling my wife to only judge me by my sober timeline

You're just talking out your ass here lmao. This is objectively not true.

China has better infrastructure. Better education. Better affordable healthcare (and they are rapidly about to eclipse the US in our capabilities). 90+% of Chinese people own their own homes. China is one of the safest countries in the world.

What freedom are you talking about? The freedom to die on the streets from preventable illness? The freedom to work 40+hrs a week and live out of your car because you are priced out of housing? The freedom to get shot at the grocery store because someone with a gun is having a mental episode? The freedom to get brutalized by an unaccountable police force?

What freedoms are you talking about?
