I love America for its freedom and its ability to grow. We've gone from allowing only landowning men to vote to allowing all citizens 18 and over to vote. We've gone from slavery to freedom. We've gone from having LGBT+ in the closet hiding from the law to allowing everyone the same marriage rights.
Unfortunately, all of these rights are very much under attack in recent years, from a party which not only is actively rolling back freedoms, but worked with Vladimir Putin against our country, and literally attacked our own Capitol to try to end our democracy. I'm deeply afraid for what will happen in the near future.
There is so much to love about this country. It's far from perfect, but nothing in life is perfect. Anyways... one of the big reasons I love this country is because it gave my grandparents an opportunity to work... which allowed them to provide for my parents... who provided for me.
It's where I was born. "...sweet land of Liberty."
