Great Again!!

Considering how some places are united in misery, united may not be a good slogan to cheer us on.

BUT ... I prefer calling us the United States of America rather than America. We can be united and different; just united and respectful of one another and our differences is good enough for me. .

@Soossie you know, no matter how people come for, you have the ability to make people pause and think about what they are saying.
It’s because of who you are!
Don’t change because there’s a lot of people of whom you have made a difference in their lives.
You are a solid source of inspiration and motivation for so so many of us.
Keep on keeping on!
Bridgett!!

I fully agree, that is why "United States of America" doesn't work either. Truth is, "USA" has transformed itself into another oxymoron... like "American Intelligence".

Really, American Intelligence, after this last Election for POTUS?🤔

Don't think so, kids! Not today! 😂

@swirlie "United" like in United States is a good reference to the relationship between states. All 50 of us are unique, yet united. Maybe not all states at any one time, but most of us are.

One thing that may not be apparent to non-US observers is that most states are indeed united and most of us citizens are pretty happy. Actually, even states like California which seems to have a disproportional share of miserable people , those miserable people are pretty much clustered in just 5 or 6 areas, and not the entire state.

From my own vantage point in Kansas, last week's election is like a breath of fresh air. One way to explain it is that with the new administration and congress, the pockets of misery in the US will at least hold their borders and not spread to Kansas or anywhere near Kansas, It's like "what happens in San Francisco thankfully stays in San Francisco." Likewise for LA, NYC, and another dozen other clusters of misery. Heck, maybe some of those miserable people will see how happy we are here in the Heartlands and it will inspire them to clean up their mess..
