Rational balanced opinions are viewed with suspicion. Polarisation seems to be the theme for politicians and citizens these days. Its just that the extremes make the most noise.

But despite the crap they have to live under from their 'government', America seems to have a higher proportion of basically decent people than most other countries. I've experienced random acts of kindness in remote West Virginian owns, and rough New York suburbs that would never have happened in many other counties on the world.

The difference between UK and US politics is that UK people dont believe the crap their politicians tell them.  Grin (but who else you gonna vote for? Farrage? Ugh.)


I've seen no shortage of US political ads that would have a British politician laughed out of their job. I'm usually laughing too much to put my foot through the TV, which is what should be done.

American people on the ground are by and large lovely. I don't really understand where this air of darkness that hangs in the background starts and finishes.

It's the old 'them' problem. 'They' are to blame for everything and there must be millions of them, but no one thinks they are one of 'them' and they don't ever seem to have met one.

Ah well. It's still an incredible place to visit and I'm still thankful to head back to knackered old commie Europe at the end of it.
