I can see why America is not looked kindly upon. Even as a resident, I'm horrified by its dark evils and ignorant primitive attitudes. If I were not settled where I am within a good community, I would probably be moving right now... as visions of Trump and those who are his rabidly hateful supporters are giving me nightmares.
Although America may not be well represented on this forum by our rag-tag team of American posters (of which I am one), there are TRULY some BEAUTIFUL people and places and communities to behold here. We're not all backward and conniving and insane... as hard as that may be to believe.
And as discouraging as things seem right now in the U.S... I'm thinking that the horrors to come will serve as a springboard for the BEST in us to come forth... eventually... if I'm still alive to see it. When the smoke clears, we may never ever return to what we've been previously... and we may be much better off for it. A great purging that ensures we'll never "go there" again. Of course it's awful that any country's insanity affects the whole world, but it's hard to escape that when we're sharing a planet.
Perhaps non-Americans on this forum could offer some compassion and helpful insights for those of us seeing this as an unfolding hellish nightmare in our lives?
Just once in awhile, of course -- as I don't want to take away your fun of bashing us!
What should responsible and kind individuals do to cope with this madness? What would YOU do? Or is the bashing all we can do... and at least it offers humor? I'm very thankful for humor.
