You're really not going to enjoy history class when it comes to American empire
I think most Westerners would prefer the US remaining dominant than ceding that position of power to China, regardless of the US's foreign policy monstrosities over time.

And for those Westerners who do not, I think it would be useful to ask them why they think a country like China (or Russia, or North Korea) would be better for their interests than the US, even with someone like Trump in power.

I’d prefer if there wasn’t any dominant powers. But that goes against human nature it seems.
Sure, that would be great. But we live in a world where that kind of thing is probably inevitable.

Sounds like what a rapist would say about their victims
