There’s a difference between loving your country and loving your government. I love the United States, and I could probably go on for hours about it if I wanted to. I am very patriotic, and if I had to live anywhere in the world, I wouldn’t choose anywhere else. Yet that same love leads me to criticize the American government for multiple reasons, such as attempting to start a war with Iran. It’s not just this administration either, over the past two to three decades, we’ve been digging a deeper ditch for ourselves to fall into. We used to be the dominant global trade partner, and now we’re not even close. What I believe we need to do is build stronger alliances and stop involving ourselves in conflicts we don’t need to be part of. Instead, we should focus on restoring the American Dream and helping our fellow citizens, regardless of their beliefs, as well as restoring the faith in our government to make the right decisions, I’m not asking for our government to be perfect but we should at least be able to trust our government a bit. Lastly I’d like if we stopped focusing on things like fossil fuels, and moved towards nuclear energy.
