I like your America, you Americas are so unlike your America.
Parts of it are great, the parts that aren't are a nightmare and will never get better.
Best part of Gondwana
I hate it despite realizing what a good life I have because I was born here with a lucky set of circumstances (cis white male). But I love parts of it, like the Bay Area and Oakland and all the surrounding hiking spots. If we didnโt share it with lunatics Iโd feel a lot better about it from a policy perspective.
I consider myself an Oregonian first and American second. Most of the country I can absolutely do without.
Oregon though...
I could do without most of Oregon too
I wouldn't willingly live anyplace else.
No, but I like it more than China and Russia.
America is addicted to money however, and has a warped idea that working hard is somehow what life is about. But it's still not close to fascism and there is some accountability still.
Idk the Republicans seem to really want fascism.
