I linked this post. I hope that's OK.

I have to say, in my own defense, that I didn't leave the country because of the current political climate. I will continue to vote (or at least attempt to do so) by absentee ballot, and I have no intention of renouncing my citizenship. I may eventually apply for dual citizenship, but to me, that implies taking on more responsibility as a global citizen, and not any less towards either country.

I think that one the best things I can do while I'm in the UK is to talk to people about my own beliefs, to show the diversity of perspective amongst Americans. To be honest, as soon as they hear my accent, they don't give me much choice. Hopefully, it helps.
