HOW THE WORLD SEES AMERICANS....

(And with Trump supporters so rampant, its beyond dispute!)



I found that on an online jigsaw puzzle site today. It's a perfect rendering of how the world sees "Trump's Amurika".)

This might be the best thing we got from AI.

Look at the resentment on their faces while hunched over a buffet of health threats designed to soothe their resentment, but actually will contribute more to their misery as they voted to have their nearest hospital shut down so when they have some inevitable health crisis they will have to drive an hour or more for care they can't afford.

Some folks still make pie from home. And, our biscuits.

Some of us even promote our lovely country, like, Crater Lake, Oregon waterfalls, high desert, Pacific coast, Florence dunes... Mountain lakes, white water rafting...lava beds...Captain Jack's Stronghold. Our pride in our Native Nation culture.

Preservation of our wild Mustang.

We Dems in Oregon, especially us born here, know the beauty of this country, but know there's much work to be done. Also know our dark ugly history.

People from all over the world come to Oregon to see our lovely state. We are welcoming and yes, kinda weird. But please continue to come. We love you.

There still seems to be a lot of love for America's best qualities -- generosity, warmth, friendliness.

A lot of people on youtube aghast yet overjoyed when seeing American portions of food.

Yeah, our political leaders put a stain on us, but that doesn't change that we're still just people.

All the great powers have had their fair share of governments that have done grotesque things. That includes Europe. Trump sucks, but Boris Johnson ain't exactly a gem. France, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Italy... complicated gems all.

Us too.

During World Cup matches.
I see plants of love for America. The visitors here are coming away with an awesome experience.

When I’m overseas which now is more typically London/germany/Middle East. I see the contempt for the US most often in Germany. Middle East and UK colleagues ask my repeatedly to move here to the US. I’m working on it for someone in Manchester.

For anyone that’s been here they love it. For those that haven’t, it depends on what messaging or news they get.

There are people that hate America and want to tear it down. A few moments of positive attention are too much to bear.

Some activities UNITE .... despite one's birthplace or nationality or even race.

"Circuses" do that. "Stage dramas" and "Concerts" bring people together regardless of race or creed. "Movies in theaters" do it. Stage plays affect a group as 'one entity'

But politics DIVIDE. Period.

Politics decide "who gets what, when, and how." Politics become fierce debate and pit one side against another. They are strife and struggle and opposition, very often so smitten by extremes that violence ensues.

Thank GOD there ARE some politicians who DON'T play up those aspects and are successful at finding solutions that help EVERYONE in the group, not just rabid "backers". THOSE are the politicians we should be seeking out to lead us.

Certainly not "TRUMPERS" ...or those attached to him by financial concerns.

World Cup visitors to the US saw Americans who are kind, friendly, welcoming, and generous. Because, by and large, we are. The Trumpsters are vulgar, selfish, vile, slovenly, and uncultured. They deserve all of the scorn this image represents.
