Something I don't think that Europeans realize about the United States is that it, too, has areas that are culturally and at least recent-historically distinct.
Those distinctions may not necessarly follow state boundaries, but they do follow regional ones. TV and the Internet may have made that less so, but it is so. The only time the US seems to have the same aims is when we are at war with someone. Let too much time without a war pass and we start fighting with each other.
obviously deeper in Europe though as the Slavonic states have their own languages and a completely seperate culture (literature, entertainment, cuisine...etc,) which is no where near as Americanised as our own.

usa has separate cutures. usa was a melting pot.
a lot of immigrants dont leave behind their culture.
on my mom's side those fuckers are american gypsies. you wouldnt be understand their language and some of them pretty much exist out of normal society.
the usa is probably the most diverse country on the planet.
Yes, I agree that the US is diverse enough and is large enough to from a geographic perspective to produce culturally distinct regions. It's obviously deeper in Europe though as the Slavonic states have their own languages and a completely seperate culture (literature, entertainment, cuisine...etc,) which is no where near as Americanised as our own.
That is true. We only have pockets of distinctions as deep as that,
and many of them are disappearing/have disappeared in the information age.
We in the UK are much more culturally aligned with our American cousins than we are with Eastern Europeans. I really don't think there's much that seperates us over here than with yourselves.
we arent cousins and we arent that same.

The social kindship between the Americans and the British has existed through most of the duration of US history, and was remarked upon by some of the Founders of the United States soon after the Revolutionary War - particularly the first US Ambassador to the United Kingdom, John Adams.

Right. Then maybe you'll understand this:
Bugger off, mate.

The "duration of US history" implies the future. I personally don't like British people and feel no kindship what so ever.

That's you though. Past Presidents and Prime Ministers have spoken of our 'special relationship'... I believe even Trump echoed similar sentiment

I believe you are correct re: Trump.

I believe you are correct re: Trump.
Trump's mother is British which is why he has such a soft spot for my country. When Obama said we'd be at the back of the queue re Brexit, Trump said we'd be at the front.

He was very nice to begin with and did gratiate us with compliments, however he has become rather cross with many of our politicans over the last couple of years.
Winston Churchill's mother was also an American, IIRC.
Obama was very soft on the EU. They could ask or do what they wanted to
and he'd go along with it. "Take on a bigger burden re: pollution so that other countries like China can skate a while longer? Sure thing!" It will be interesting to see how our relationship with Britain goes with Biden
(or Harris) at the helm. I fear that you all might be back at the back of the queue again.
here's how trump works.
he makes friends from enemies.
he invites them over and they have a great weekend together. this is what everyone says about him. he makes friends with them. when they are friends they are less likely to make shitty comments and do shitty things.
it's a great tactic regardless of his motives.
I would agree however our Conservative politicans were glad Biden won the election. Brexit is a total farce, I am not even convinced it'll happen anymor
as there's next to no political will to get it over the line. The politicians we have appear to be pro-EU and the only reason they're carrying out any discussion is due to the will of the people as per the '16 referendum. I think
Johnson has more in common with Biden than Trump. All of a sudden he's talking
about his Ten Point Plan for a Green Industrial Revolution which is identical to The Green New Deal proposed by Biden and his cohorts. He used to talk like Trump in regards to rebuilding a manufacturing base but it is now all about climate change and sustainable development.
