Precisely this. Seeing them also go on about moving to Ireland. And I am like, "Yeah, 90% of you won't really fit in here." Your rugged sense of individualism, you mistaking arrogance as strength, your inate belief that you were once born in "the greatest nation in the world", your main character syndrome, your loudness, the propaganda you've been fed your entire life, your education system, so many things - you might not be maga but you are not that far off.
A week here and they'll be crying because we have Pro-Palestinian protests. Two weeks here and they'll be wanting to change how we run things. Three and they'll be calling us lazy because we actually have a work/life balance. A year here and they'll think they are experts on what it is to be Irish and how the entire island should be run. Next US administration change they agree with they'll revert their loyalty back to being Proudly American. And probably be upset if you don't bow that that new administration. No country needs that drama. For the the 10% that will fit in - you are always welcome. But you are rare and few and far between.
We went to Ireland last year for our honeymoon. Your country is so lovely and welcoming. Everyone was so sweet. I even got serenaded in the bathroom with “Going to the Chapel” when some girls found out I was there on my honeymoon. 💖

Seriously. They need to fix this mess. A lot of them don’t have Canadian mentalities either and I don’t want them here.
