To understand America, you need to first understand this - we are not Europeans who just happen to live in a distant land.

America is and will continue to be, by European standards, a conservative country.

The problem in the modern era is that we have not heeded the words of our founders.

George Washington -

The great rule of conduct for us, in regard to domestic nations, is in extending our commercial relations, to have with them as little political connection as possible. Europe has a set of primary interests, which to us have none, or a very remote relation. Hence she must be engaged in frequent controversies the causes of which are essentially foreign to our concerns. Hence, therefore, it must be unwise in us to implicate ourselves, by artificial ties, in the ordinary vicissitudes of her politics, or the ordinary combinations and collisions of her friendships or enmities.

Thomas Jefferson -

"peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations, entangling alliances with none."

Indeed I will vote today, but it will be solely with the interests of my nation, my countrymen and my family at heart.
