I'm sorry about your experience - I'm afraid for you Yanks it's usually in dubio contra reum. If you ever visit us again, it usually helps to casually mention that you're unhappy with the current government or didn't vote for Trump. Us Europeans aren't necessarily mean, just jaded, and it helps if you give us something to let us know that you in particular aren't one of the idiots.
It is so weird to have been raised by Europeans, my dad of course being Swiss, and Nana a warbride from England. I learned nothing about how to be American. Sport still confuses me. "People you'll never meet compete for points that won't affect you."
That anyone voted for Trump, let alone is supporting him as he fucks their lives over, is just baffling. We're not all idiots; they're just the loudest, and journalism is dead in the states.
