I think my stupidest belief/point of confusion was that I just didn’t understand that the UK and America were…not the same country. I didn’t get why we spoke the same language and why they had a Queen and we didn’t.

There’s been a kind of…fashion of late to view anti-Trump libs as lame and cringe and just annoying, aesthetically. I remember this exact same aesthetic judgment in the run-up to the Iraq war. The earnest libs were right then and they’re right now.
