I'm the same with valentine's. A surprise bouquet or a loving 'treat' on a ramdom Thursday HAS to mean more than the obligatory 'I love you' cards and roses on F14!
I HATE all this tribal BS. If we were invaded by aliens, we'd be one world. When it's inside the world, we're nation against nation. States fight, football teams fight and neighbours quarrel.
I don't care who you are or where you come from and your colour is unimportant to me. If you're cool, you're cool. If you're a jerk, you're a jerk. Your background doesn't matter.
I've never been to the US, but I see good and bad from there. There are things I'm jealous of, and things I am glad we don't have in our part of the world. No ONE country is Utopia.
If you dated a girl who HATED the US then she'd not be worth the investment; NOT because of her views of your country, but because of her myopic and rediculous views.
