Foreigner, creator of threads is more like it, lol. It will be interesting to see where this one goes. In the OP you bring up 2 US presidents, political parties and end with “don’t turn this political.” Now I can’t turn away as I wait for this to go bang

You should see when people try to use it against me it’s funny.
Being a Foreigner is a rich and rewarding experience but you wouldn’t know because you’ve stayed in the same small patch of dirt your whole life 
(not you personally)

Yes it’s a big risk agreed. It may end up in the bin but it really wasn’t my intention.

Again, these type of generalities, and enflaming comments are just what I was saying. Happiness comes from inside;)

Not true. I know many thoughtful reasonable Americans willing to question their own bias and have a meaningful conversation.

Toxic, Tiring etc.
At least we all can agree “Cannabis is good”.

Or “Trash” ?
Or “Tax Evader”
It wasn’t meant as an absolute.
But. . …for example. …you said you’re non-American. I bet, very generally speaking, wherever you’re from, your average citizen is much more disciplined than your average American citizen. Dude, we are a country of children brought to the store with Mom, we have NO attention-span and all we do is project and compare… And again, I mean this very generally because I do NONE of these things, but I see them all the time in the news, in articles, the accounts of foreigners regarding us, etc etc.
I swear I’m not trying to get you shut down here

I think you give us too much credit. We like to think so, but I’m not sure it’s true.

I wear Vans. I smoke. I’m “cool” IMO
but, America, as a whole, is very much not. And your run-in with one promting this entire thread should tell you so.
Again, I’m sorry on behalf of that guy, seriously

The Matrix was prophetic back in 1999.
The blue pill / red pill really sums up the self imposed and reinforcing media bubbles that so many live in.

Every person has a conscience, and to bypass that, one of the tricks is dehumanizing the opponent, some choose a close relative “he’d r@ your dying mom if you give him the chance, get him”… politics is a popular one since everything now can be made political… and is closely attached to feelings etc
