Dear American friends

[blamebrampton]

What the fucking fuck?

I mean, I know that you are all also saying what the fucking fuck, because we're friends and all, but, fuck …

I am rarely reduced to spluttering profanity, but when you have one state banning abortion one day and another legalising murder the next …

Seriously, if any of you like marsupials, I do recommend Sydney or Melbourne. It's not perfect here, but it's much less grim if you're not a wealthy white man.

You're all going to stay and try to fix things, aren't you? Because you've got that American capability and boundless hope. In which case, GOOD LUCK! I believe in Americans like YOU! And those other fuckers can fuck right off.

I don't really understand the last bit, to be honest. I live right next door to you in Denmark, and I like it enough here to not want to move anywhere else, except maybe Sweden or Norway ;-)
But that doesn't mean that I can't be worried about the state of the rest of the world. It's not thinking less of them, it's just being worried for all the people who are not fortunate enough to live in places like this, or similar.

Good point, I like the way you look at this. Have you always lived in Denmark? I only moved to Sweden 2.5 years ago, and spent a good part of my life living in the US, which may be part of why my first reaction was to not want to know what had happened now, since I feared it would make me think less of the country...
