I'm not from there but have been several times, including the best summer of my life. I think you're right that a lot of people are fuelled by that destructive urge given what we're seeing over the last while but the vast, vast majority of Americans I've come across were decent people.
I am from there, and I know a lot of great people. But county voting patterns clearly demonstrate vast differences in opinions, and they’re not evenly distributed.
I don’t mean to suggest that a majority of the population is overtly racist and that’s the only factor in our current predicament. I just think it’s larger than a lot of people expect.
Where have you visited?
Yeah I'd agree with all of that.
Been to California (San Diego, LA and SF), Nevada (Vegas really but I did go through death valley which was cool), New York, DC and Virginia so far so definitely more left leaning areas.
