Although the American and European cultures are similar, one gets the impression that both sides try really hard to find reasons to detest and criticize each other.
I do have the impression that Europeans try hard to detest and criticize America; however, I don’t think that’s a reciprocal relationship.
Most Americans don’t think much about Europe. To the extent that they do, blue Americans hold Europe up as a model, while red Americans are impatient with Europe’s anti-Americanism and leftist policies. But really no one in America tries hard to hold any opinion of Europe, and perhaps that is what maddens Europeans most of all.
