Now let me preference this by saying it just might be in my algorithm on YouTube and Substack, and of course normie propaganda; but I'm seeing lots and lots of stories and videos of mostly Europeans here for the World Cup who seem amazed by America. And even they seemed surprised how much they are enjoying being here.

2020 I ended up on a road trip and in the middle of nowhere in Nebraska. No cell service. With it being the lockdown or whatever I drove for almost an hour without seeing another passing car. Ended up at this cool geologic formation park 30 mins down a gravel road. There was an old guy there that I guess liked it so much he hung out there with his open carried pistol and gave out water and little postcards and told people about the park with absolutely zero attempt to sell our ask for tips or anything. There was one other family out there hiking around like I was and that's it.
That's awesome dude, that's exactly what I love about America. I pray that the globalists don't succeed in just jamming the country full of a billion people because 'Well it's so big it can support that population, and line must go up!'. You would lose so much that is intangible in the process.
That trip specifically would be hard to replicate although the places are all still remote so not busy. That was early enough in the whole lockdown mess that there weren’t a ton of people out in campers crowding things like they did in 2021 yet. So the only people that were out were the ones with the mindset of screw it all I’m going anyway.
Crazy thing is I guess everyone knew that’s all that was out so there was an odd friendliness. I keep to myself usually but I don’t think I ever had so many conversations with just random people/families just before and it was never around politics even during the time. It was just “where are you from”, “where are you going”, “oh yeah we came from that way check out this cool place you should go”
Was it Toadstool Geological Park? I came across the park on a very meandering trip across the country some years back. The only cars I saw were train cars full of coal moving down the line. As you said below it would be hard to replicate that trip but maybe I'll give it a go again before things get really crazy. And, yeah, the people out there are wonderful.
That was it yes. It's super out there but I decided to go from Cheyenne to Rapid City that way just to see it.
