I have a good friend who was born in Germany n her husband is British..both US citizens and proud democrats but they come to their conclusions from a different angle and yet we 100% agree..most of the time. The issue of guns is a good example. Our upbringings were all different as were our educational experiences but we learn from each other n the conversations, no matter the subject, are always a learning experience for me. Interesting to hear how we, in the US, are perceived by other likeminded but culturally diverse people. Thirty days isn’t that long so we’ll see you soon 💙
