Hope. The US has historically been a rough country for almost everyone. It has also historically been "the land of opportunities." The fact that once again, as in the gilded age, our "leaders" have forgotten the one redeeming quality of our broken old democracy, has once again extinguished the idea of hope.
As Churchill once said, "you can trust that the Americans will eventually do the right thing. They'll just try everything else first." The fact that we don't think that is at all true, isn't good for anyone.
Stop your weird nationalism: the US is a colonial empire as are most western European countries. Accept it, and move on, you're being an american exceptionalist right now, which is a racist position.
