  1. I didn't realize how far the US is slipping behind the rest of the modern world because like most, we see the US with how the movies portray it, but anyway, I lived in the US in the early 2000 for 2 years and that was a major eye-opener in how the US is falling behind in a lot of areas, workers rights, health care, food standards, safety, poverty, inequality and countless other things and it made me realize how lucky and easy we have it in EU countries in comparison. The sad thing is, most Americans, especially older generation ones have been brainwashed to such a degree with flag waving and patriotism that it's hard to convince them how far the US is falling behind, they just automatically assume the US is the best country in the world, based on little to nothing, the US isn't even close to being the best country in the world with what I saw of it and honestly, it felt like a first, second and third world country all rolled into one, something I've not seen in any other country and it's shocking that not enough Americans realize how bad things have got over there. The irony is, Americans go on about the left of politics so much, I say irony because the US doesn't really have any left wing politics and yes I know some will say the Democrats but let's be real here, the Democrats are a right wing party, more right wing than the Conservative party in the UK which are very right wing in the UK, the Republican Party in the US is seen as the loon party in other modern countries, extreme right wing, the closes the US has to left ring is Bernie Sanders and he had little to no chance of winning, that's where the real problem is in the US, the voters have little choice but that choice is because of the American people not changing the system.

  2. That and how they view the left, probably because of the Cold War and the Soviet Union, Americans have been brainwashed into thinking that anything on the left is evil that it's distorting their views on reality and it's the lower and middle classes of Americans that are paying a high price for that in comparisons to other rich countries. In the end, it's hard to convince them, especially the older Americans and I feel if they just lived in other rich countries for a few short years, it will be a real eye-opener to how the American system is really screwing them over.
