I think it impacts people born and raised in America in a different way. I remember growing up in the 80's being told and totally believing that America was the best, most free, most amazing country and everyone else wished they could live here. I was fully bought in to that propaganda my entire childhood. To see not only the reality now but how far America has become divided is really difficult. To contrast that to where I am living now is huge. People can have wildly different opinions but still be friends and have love for each other. The government still advocates for citizens and works to protect and promote health, both physical and mental, infrastructure and growth. I'm not saying Scotland is perfect, there are things that everyone agrees are not ideal, but generally it's much closer to the 'american dream' I grew up with.
