Ideally I’d really like to live in an alternate history version of the US where we got our shit together at some point. I overall really like this country, there’s a lot of cool things and places here, and while a lot of the bad stereotypes about us are based in truth, I do find my countrymen to be overall friendly (it should maybe be noted that I’m a cis straight white guy)
How about an alternate universe where Lincoln wasn’t shot and was actually able to follow through on Reconstruction? Hell, I’d take the alternate universe where 2000 wasn’t stolen from Gore and we actually took climate change seriously.
I’d like to live in a country that isn’t so obsessed with class and money. Where people only treat you well if they think you are rich.
I am working-class coded guy, and where I live it means people hate you and openly talk about how people like me are all shitty and awful and should be ‘fixed’. But when I leave the city people are way nicer to me, because they are working-class and don’t think the way I dress is ‘offensive’.
And of course, if I mention I went to harvard they go from thinking I’m scum of the earth to wanting to suck my dick… and the country people go from thinking i’m normal to thinking i’m a pretentious rich douchebag…
