[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is it surprising? Do you know any country that loves Americans? Serious question. [/quote]

Yes! I actually live abroad (Europe) and it's quite common for me to hear from people how much they love America when I say where I'm from. Of course I also get a good bit of ranting about Trump, people who sometimes dont like America, whatever. I think a bit of polarization is to be expected, but for sure you get plenty of really positive remarks when you say youre American. And I spent a good amount of time in various Eastern Asian countries- it's extremely common there to hear rhapsodizing praise about Americans.

But I mean, some haters are to be expected. It just seems like the Canadians are on another level and are just frothing at the mouth. I find it strange. [/quote]

I also live in Europe and can't agree. While during  the first term most Eruopeans had compassion for the Trump underlings the situation has changed now, as Trump threatens to conquer Greenland,  collaborates with kleptocrat Putin, has left WHO und plans to leave NATO and so on. And while during the first term of presidency there were huge protests and demonstrations we don't hear anything from the american civil society, everybody seems just to agree. So at the moment you don't get a laot of positive feedback about the USA  (except from Right-wing extremists). But that does not mean, that Europeans "hate" Americans. They don't unterstand them.
