Of course. I’m pretty sure you could’ve picked up any major newspaper around the world today and seen something about it on the front page.
Opinions about America in general that are widely held here would include:
- We love your movies and tv shows
- you’re way more religious than us, generally
- your gun laws/gun culture are very unpopular here
- a first world country with no universal healthcare system is crazy to us
Maybe not an opinion that’s widely held but one I think is true: your country is more socially stratified than ours among a number of lines. Your poor people are poorer than our poor people, your rich people are richer. You’ve got a lot of the top minds in the world but also a significant number of people who are dumb as fucking rocks. I think we have less people at the extremes. The differences between your left and right wing major parties are a lot more extreme than ours.
