The US, in principle, has so many fantastic places and welcoming people and nice traits that I can‘t name them all here. The problem is, FUD about the USA has never stopped me from feeling this was my secret mother country. Hell, my wife and I even own more ground in Texas than most of my family owns here in Germany combined(praise goes to the easy aquisition process in the US...). Fact is, currently they don‘t let my Iranian wife in. And even if they let (which they might when we are on an investors visa), Iranian relatives would not be able to visit us. And the super unreliable politics concerning Iran make things worse and we do not know what we get, even if Iran keeps its promises. So the poltics affect us in a big way, and then again we also don‘t know in what other much more difficult conflicts the US might engage (at least only two state leaders come to my mind that threaten each other with atomic bombs, North Korea and the USA). So currently, we sit and wait, discover advantages of the country I was born in, and will re-evaluate the situation when it changes.

Ditto from Arkansas. We have cities with people of all persuasions, and we have rural areas where you can form your own social circles.
Don't believe the media, it's been proven to be working an agenda. See for yourself!
There are so many places in the US and you can find a lifestyle that suits you. Most people are very welcoming and would love to have you.
Germans are well thought of in the States. My state, Georgia, even has a Bavarian inspired town in the “mountains”.
