I love quite a few parts of the US. It’s hard to love all parts of a country almost the size of Europe. My patriotism is local and to individual people. Maybe even global. It’s the middle part, trying to worship something the size of the US that I don’t know all parts of, that I can’t seem to wrap around.
I love the principles it’s claimed to be founded on. Minus crap like the 3/5 rule, etc.
I hate that people twisted those principle to disadvantage certain other people.
I hate that our media seems to be feeding paranoia and war fever worldwide.
The visa question? I think borders should eventually disappear, but it will be a long road. I have no problem with visas and some level of vetting, but the restrictions should be reasonable, not born of knee jerk fear.
