The fact that we had a peaceful transfer of power and concession is reason enough to be proud to be American. There are other social issues that need to be addressed. However, we need to look at the disenfranchised people from the old economy. They won't care for social issues if basic economic needs aren't met. I know it's ironic that now we care because it's the white American that's affected but it is what it is. They are the strongest voting block. I didn't vote for trump so don't try to point a finger at me, but I also understand where these people are coming from.

I assume OP's employer withholds tax from each one of those pay checks he worked to earn, he contributed. Better than a 300 pounds citizen who doesn't actively seek employment and lives off welfare. I rather have a hardworking legal immigrant than a trash citizen.

@OP you're a real piece of shit. You say that we are such a horrible country, but you're OK to come here because we offer you a better path at success at life. Fuck you. You're a greedy POS.

OP is either lying or stupid. Do you have any idea how jealous people are of Americans. That's why they try and put Americans down. When people found out I was moving tons of people asked how to do it and "do I think they could too." All were the same people that were bashing america 5 seconds before I told them. The freedoms you have here of religion, of free speech, freedom from being discriminated based on the color of your skin or gender or sexual orientation are amazing that very few other countries have. The freedom to kneel during the national anthem and not be hauled in to jail for political dissent. All Americans that are ashamed of being American are living with their heads in the sand. A guy commits a crime gets shot by the police and there are protests against the police would never happen where in from and in a multitude of other countries that espouse freedom but don't have the same freedoms afforded to Americans. My father dared to be different and the government confiscated his business. This is why (when I become a citizen) I would probably never vote for a liberal to be president. If I called someone a derogatory term where in from I would be arrested (I'm not saying you should only that you have the freedom to do so). The colleges that are banning political speakers as they don't have the same opinion as the speakers don't realize the slippery slope they are heading down by discouraging freedom of speech. I love this country. I am honored to be in this country. And I hope you can wake up to see the beauty you are obviously blind to.

@OP why are you in our country then? If you would live in a country that you feel is that horrible just for money, that makes you the worst of all.
