A few posts and threads by me (some deleted) about current events and what many objectively perceive to be the decline of America have been mischaracterised as "America-hating". While I, like everyone, obviously have favourites and no-so-liked places, my opinions about your country do not arise from hate, I assure you. I happen to be a voracious consumer of American culture.
I first started coming here out of a genuine curiosity about American running culture. I'd been a fan of many U.S. distance runners in the past. While that interest has waned recently following what I see as a blatant anti-Kenyan trend in American running media and circles, it would be wrong to think that asking questions about what is happening is due to "hatred and jealousy". That America under Trump has changed and declined in much of the world's estimation is undeniable. I just want to know why?
That is all.
