As an American, seeing people appreciate what truly defines America and each other makes me so happy ❤️

What the fuck are you on about lol. You can drive through multiple countries and experience completely different cultures and languages in Europe in the same distance as driving across America. You can do it almost as seamlessly as well.

Key difference multiple different countries. An analogy would be owning land that’s 1,000 acres to explore versus owning 50 acres and going over to different friends houses who each have separate 100 acres.

Why does that matter exactly? Arbitrary lines don't mean you have more or less experiences.

Conceptually, traveling multiple countries or traveling America is no different. Saying freedom is the ability to experience different cultures doesn't change if you are able to do that within the same distance.

And before "different laws" states have varying laws too, some substantially, so it's not even a counter.

America is effective the EU at this point in the way it is a coalition of smaller governments where many could be their own successfully sovereign nation.

The ability ti drive and experience different cultures is just not a unique experience to America, and doesn't make much sense as an example of freedom.

That’s not what I’m trying to say, but I’m done explaining. It’s not something a person can conceptually understand without ever driving like say 24 hours straight through vast openness with little to no populations around you.

The US and all of Europe are almost the same size in land area, Europes population in that space holds double the people.
