It is a tall order to say that you must live and work in multiple countries to know about them. Not many people are inclined to do that, except for some expats I guess. I picked the United States and ran with it.
At the very least I'd say it makes your opinions perhaps less valid in some ways, but that's my opinion based on what I've read of your opinions! Besides, your reading and interpretation of things I've also found really questionable at times and contrary to data when applicable!

Truth. It's those same leftists that are ignorant of just how diverse and complex America is compares to some supposedly perfect, homogeneous Nordic country.

As of 2020 Scandinavia isn't homogeneous at all, here's a video proof, just have patience and watch some 5-6 minutes from this boring walk and you'd notice tens of non-whites...yes far from Paris or London but it's not the 80s "nazi ideal" people claim it to be:

When Trump was elected that solidified my decision to return to my country of birth I'm tired of the divisiveness and to be honest I tolerate the Trump supporters I have some in my family but I dislike them. Too much divisiveness and hatred and it's gotten worse over the last three years. I really don't understand the loyalty of Trump supporter the man isn't worth two ****s. I still have a few years to go(5) after I move I will visit twice a year but I'm ready to move on I don't value most of the things that a lot of Americans find important it's time to move on. The lifestyle in general is designed to keep people broke and addicted to buying crap and placing people with possessions and titles on pedestals. I don't care about that crap. It's a trade off though there are problems everywhere you go

Compared to the US, it is very homogeneous.

I don't hate America, I love it, But something is wrong. When I travel to other countries, there is something about them that we just don't have here. I'm starting to feel like America is a big fake country. Too many people here are just not what I want to be a part of anymore.

Are all countries like this when you actually live there?

Frustrated with my country right now.
I have found it's generally the same thing all over the world, but it is better televised in the US.

That's probably why the immigration office denied my wife's green card renewal, under their perception that our marriage is fraudulent. They probably think my wife is too beautiful for me and that's why it looks suspicious, lol.

What I don't get is people who think Trump is a good moral Christian, and even act like he is the savior of America. If you don't support Trump, you are against Jesus and not saved and will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven. All because he is against abortion, but will turn a blind eye to other things he is doing that is damaging to the country and living Americans.

I'm not a fan of the whole American way of life and the cult of personality. It seems like everywhere looks the same and everyone has the same mindset, and you're not allowed to have an opinion about anything that doesn't conform to their beliefs.

They did that? Shame on them!

America's immigration system is ****ed up and it's only getting worse with the republicans. Even worse if they get re elected.

How is she managing to live without her green card renewal?

I hope they don't delay her citizenship
