    As someone from a small, irrelevant European country, I remember looking up to the US as this land of freedom and justice when I was a kid. Growing up is realizing that it simply isn’t true.

      Same. Born and raised in South East Asia, always saw the US as “the good guys” since young, mostly because US-centric media, especially Hollywood, always portrayed America as so. I even attended graduate school in Pennsylvania. Now, I can’t help but feel it’s becoming a clown show and the nation is collapsing within itself.
