It it helps (it probably doesn’t), most non-Americans don’t hate the US. We’re saddened - and a little fearful - by what it has become.

Thank you. I was born in 1957. I have seen a lot of changes in my time. Civil rights, women's rights, employment improvements, access to buildings and bathrooms and such for those who have disabilities, vaccines...so many things that have improved the lives of so many...not a perfect fix, but steps in the right direction. Now those things and so many others have been undone like the last nearly 68 years didn't even happen. If only my body felt that way.
I am disappointed and embarrassed by this country now. I am glad to know that others realize we here in the US aren't all a bunch of backwards assholes.
I'm your huckleberry.
