European visitors, not just visitors, but travelers, are posting their surprised reactions to their experiences as they tour across the country. They love it. There is a caveat. They love it when they really see it and don’t confine themselves to the lost cities.
When I was an airline hostess, one of my colleagues from the Middle East asked me why Americans even bother to travel to other countries. The US has everything you could want. Of course, Americans travel for the wonderful differences in history, architecture, and landscapes, but the point holds. The US has everything you could want. It’s a beautiful country and a land of plenty with some wonderful people.
Give these people green cards. They have the positive life energy that’s made American great!! And I bet committing welfare fraud is the last thing on their minds. https://t.co/zyN5kWGS5V

Cynical Publius explains why he thinks Freddy resonates.
Lots of Europeans visit the USA as tourists. They visit New York City, or Washington, D.C., or Hollywood, or Las Vegas, and if they visit natural beauty too, they go to really crowded places like the Grand Canyon or Yellowstone.
So while they see our cultural and natural icons, they are mostly in blue cities, and they therefore also see the decline, the homeless, the drugs, the dirt, and the rude, rude Americans.
But Freddy is not doing that. Freddy is driving, and he’s doing it through the heartland, where people are kind and polite, the skies are wide open, and the bounty of Buc-ees and Bass Pro Shops is overwhelming.
Freddy is not seeing fentanyl and decline.
He is seeing the real, hopeful, patriotic, kind America that European tourists rarely traverse.
And he loves it.
That’s why Freddy is a phenomenon.
Let me explain why I think Freddy resonates.

Drive and see the real America!
A wise man once said, if you want to hate America, watch the news. If you want to love America, drive across it.

Many Europeans traveled across the U.S. during the World Cup, the journey itself becomes part of the adventure. Stopping at a massive can feel like discovering a whole new world, with its huge stores, endless food options, and unique souvenirs.
