I would imagine I have basically the same objections as you and the others who mentioned American culture. But I think it's overstated.
What I found living there over the years is that Americans are very diverse, and there are tons and tons of great and sensible people there who don't oppose things like common sense gun laws and are very open to a socialized health system among other things. Of course, I was living in SoCal which is a great and modern place.
I don't argue there are some backward places in the US though.
