State of the US: A matter of perspective

If you believe the Democrats, the US is full of extremist right wingers (Nazis) that they are fighting to keep at bay. If you believe the Republicans, the US is full of extremist left wingers (Stalinists) that they are fighting to keep at bay.

If you believe the hordes of Mexicans, Latin Americans and various others crossing the border into the US, then the US is full of freedom and opportunities.

If you believe the Chinese, Russians, Iranians, North Koreans and Arabs, the US is the big evil global overlord. If you believe the Indians, Japanese, South Koreans and Israelis, the US is generally a force for good.

If you believe the Europeans, then the US is their powerful kid brother still growing up, still figuring out the world and what it wants to be.

When everyone thinks something about the US that others contradict, we can say the US seems to have quite a well-rounded personality!!! 😆

Maybe that's because the opinions you attach to groups are simplistic. And there is a bit more going on, that can't be captured in grand generalisations.

@Kwek00 You're the boss, boss!!!

Your humility is something to look up to.. or at! And, your ability to admit to your mistakes and apologise is enough to build an entire identity on, not just facets of it. Not to mention your God-like ability to psychoanalyse!!

I'm impressed!

Certainly I think we can agree that how people outside the US see the nation in a vastly different way to how the US residents do..😷
