Dear Haters: Leave Your Anti-Trump BS Out Of This World Cup

An anonymous European tourist wasn't the hero we asked for. But he was the hero we desperately needed in a time when America's 250th anniversary party feels increasingly like it's about to fall flat on its face.
His name is "Freddy." He is German. And he absolutely loves the American South. As he documents his travels through states like Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, and Florida, Freddy has even been described as the modern-day Alexis de Tocqueville, the great Frenchman who wrote of his travels to and observations of America during the 1800s. Although I wouldn't go that far, Freddy is nevertheless reminding Americans that the true greatness of our country can be found in the most unexpected places, such as a gas station or a winding country road.
