How would being an American be weird? I live in California and I have yet to see any of the "crazy" protests that CNN loves to make seem bigger than what it really is.
Your not even from the US. Some might say it's weird how much you care.
By the way. I love England... big fan of Doctor Who. Your not the only person I ran into that wasn't from the US with so many opinions about what's happening here. It's amazing really how the media even controls fake facts and makes it a reality in a person(s) head.
Take Milo yiannopoulos for example. Accused of being a pedophile when he was talking about an experience that literally happened to him and how it shaped him to be who he is today and doesn't dwell on the past. Only to be called a pro pedophilia supporter on CNN.
Did you know Bill Maher who claimed he destroyed Milo's career... which he didnt. He got more supporters than ever but yeah... turns out Bill Maher actually supports pedophilia and said a 30 year old woman can't rape a 14 year old because he's a man. And goes on to defend it and there's plenty of videos out there. Guess what... CNN isn't covering it and several other fake news media because this harms the Democrats since Bill Maher was such a strong anti trump supporter. Keep an open mind. There's plenty of low IQ Americans here that are still blind.
