But that’s the thing about America. The average person is NOTHING like our government. Everyone I’ve talked to agrees that the government is a problem, but one we have very little control over. Yes, we have elections…but its basically a choice between bad and worse.

I love the US because I consider it a sibling to my country, the US was the teenager that left home young and never calls mom (england) while Canada is the younger brother who, moved out too, but keeps in touch.
The US revolted because it did not wish to contribute towards the costs of fighting a war that was almost entirely fought for the benefit of the Americans to prevent the French taking over, not for whatever bull# sentimental reason their education system states.

Sorry but I disagree. The Americans I interact with are not the evil government....just terrible people. Seems Americans are too caught up in their own pride to really see just how terrible they are.
I really haven't met many(any) who are aren't awful people. So it is hard not to dislike your country as a whole.

I think you need to take a break from the internet, you are filled with far too much anger. I made a funny comment on the difference between Canada and the Us and you start freaking out, get over it. The average american doesn't get represented by the government, that is why they are protesting in the streets. Beyond that, it's been proven that the elections are rigged, so they aren't even voting people in.
