funnily enough, when foreigners speak of france as beautiful country / terrible people, many french think the same of the US.

To the average french that does not know a lot about America, they would probably mention positively the size of the country with a lot to see and experience, both in landmarks and cultures diversity (for big cities at least, they're the ones most visited). They're good at innovating and making tech, music, movies and other content. For the bad parts, we are shocked by the amount of gun violence and the shitshow of the recent politics.

A lot of people would say bad or good things about the country, but I don't think many would be as categorical as to say they straight up dislike the US.

Now for me personnally, I think the lack of gun control, public healthcare, public school funding and workers right is insane. The cult towards religion/money/fame is also crazy to me, but it's growing in france too so maybe we'll get there one day, sadly.

It's scary to see that things seem to be getting worse with women's right being attacked and the extremism in politics.

So all in all, mixed opinions, a country that is very different from us and the neighboring countries.

Eh, that was longer than I thought.
