Thank you for the random question, anon, I’ve missed answering them!
Well, for all the jokes I make, I don’t really have too much on Americans as a whole. But both my partners and a good deal of my friends are American, so I’d say they’re people like anyone else. Some of ‘em are good people, some of ‘em are bad people, but they’re all people.
The US, on the other hand, is a mess. But so is Canada, and I’ve been trying to make that clear whenever I poke fun at the US, even if I might occasionally not be as clear as I should about that. No country is perfect. However, I think I’m a little justified in saying the US is maybe more of a mess, since I don’t fear for my life here in Canada (I’m a still-semi-closeted white kid who spends all her time on her phone, what do I have to be afraid of?), but often do fear for the people I love who live in the US regardless of their privilege. Moreso every day this year, honestly.
This turned out long, but I hope it’s a coherent answer.
