Well, I think it is safe to say that a major part of the GOP platform is based largely on appealing to conservative Christian groups. Granted, PurpleSquirrel made a generalization.
I don't think that's the case at all, but you're entitled to your opinion.
So, you believe it is best for your family for the rest of the world to dislike the US? How does this make us safer? Our policies and actions are turning the world against us. This can't be good for our safety, security or economy.
They may, perhaps, be turning the elites abroad against us (which I find a questionable proposition to start with, since most people who make this claim point to our "allies" France and Germany) but I believe we appeal to the common people much more than we repel the leaders.
For a country allegedly so reviled, we certainly seem to attract a heck of a lot of people and sell a lot of our dreams & visions overseas. Somebody obviously likes us.
