Thanks for this Jason. I understand and empathize with your feeling of dread. I'm with you. I feel it even when I leave Chicago and Illinois for a less-civilized state---one with regressive politics and retrograde views on humanity.

Great essay Jason. I'm out of the country right now and man the level of dread is ratched down to about 5% of normal everyday life in the US. So glad to be gone even if I miss a few things.

Oh and I don't think you need to hedge your feelings by proclaiming your love of the US. Its just an arbitrary border set by white supremacist colonial ideology. Its OK to dislike it.
