I'm from Canada, living in the US and married to a native for the last 13 years or so.
Before Trump got elected I would always get an angry glare and trigger defensive responses whenever I'd point out some aspect of the US that I felt could be improved or was lacking when compared to how things are in Canada.
After Trump it's a bit different. I think his election has been a bit of an eye opener for a lot of people that there really are deep-seated problems and maybe striving to be more like other countries that do things differently isn't such a bad idea.
Of course, that's just my experience living in a big city where my social circle is overwhelmingly liberal (which easily also applies to SF). I'm sure things are quite different in more rural/conservative areas of the country.
- GoodDreams 9y agoI've been living in the San Francisco area for 10 years. Since Trump has been nominated I'm not allowed to have opinions or feelings. As a straight white cis man my speech is considered violence regardless of content. I'm currently looking for a place to live where I have a choice to speak and still be friends with all sorts of people. Any suggestions?
