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.
