My Dad and Mom both grew up in the Soviet Union in the 80's and saw for themselves how much it sucked and are honored to be Americans, considering that in this country you can afford two cars and a big house. At one point in middle school, I had become a socialist because I thought it would solve all the world's problems, and my Dad specifically managed to explain to me how socialism made life in the Soviet Union hell. How they lived in communal apartments, apartments where 9 people lived in 3 small rooms, how store shelves were empty, and the underfunded and overcrowded schools, and the overcrowding problem was so bad, that my Dad had to go to school at night and others went at day, as well as how the government lied so much. For example, how in the 1950's, around the city of Chelyabinsk, where he was born, the government dumped Nuclear waste into the rivers and silenced anyone who spoke out. And he also convined me to join Trump's side and defend American workers and industries, to stand up to China's crap, to return the troops from the Middle East, etc...

Either way, Thank you Dad.
