Y'know...you grow up being told about the US of A, how great it is, how they saved us poor Europeans, how it's the land of milk, honey and dreams.
Then you get a little older, and you start seeing things that doesn't quite match with what you've been told. The wars, the poverty, the hatred of anything that is "unamerican".
You dig a little bit deeper, trying to keep an open mind of course, but you see how the rich and the corporations basically control everything, pushing through laws that benefit them alone, not the people. You see the people of this land of milk, honey and dreams elect people that keep them poor.
You've become disillusioned, seeing a country that treats dissenters the way you were told they did in the "horrible Soviet", a country where Greed Is God, a country where power is being swapped between two right-wing parties with a system that essentially guarantee that no-one else can ever win. But you keep some hope, because you KNOW that there are good, decent people caught in that unholy mess, and you want to hope for them.
Then you see the way those who try to help the public is hunted (yes, Snowden among others), and gradually, it all just wears you down.
And then comes Trump.
And you know you should care.
But somehow, all you think is...
