The image of the US drastically changes depending on where in the country you are. There are some beautiful forests, mountains, and wild spaces (unfortunately rapidly dwindling and defunded). There are dying rural and suburban areas with more pawn shops, payday loan, and bail bond places than grocery stores and fast food places. Some areas in big cities can be that clean and corporate, but usually it doesn’t take more than 3 blocks away before you get into some rougher areas.
And as horrible as ICE and the other bullshit going on are, nowhere in the US is bombed out yet.
