This I guess, is one element of labelling a country a giant douche-bag, but there are plenty of others. In the last 4 years the US opted out of the Paris Accord and the WHO, they implemented a policy of turning kids into orphans, they elected Trump, they turned the US into one of the most covid-toxic places on the planet, etc, etc.

Those are all douchebag things to do imo, and I hope that starting in January, some of that may be undone. In the meantime I think adidasss is right: 74 million US citizens have said they don't want to be douchebags anymore.
