This is very nice but as for Steves' activism, there are a lot of things wrong with supporting the communist antics of the Democratic Party nowadays which undermines the very things he touts and experiences in Europe that he shines a spotlight on. They are against capitalism, any traditional belief system which in any way encourages morality or individualism and that includes Christianity, and they strongly urge their unpopular 'woke' yet failed policies on the rest of America whether you agree or not.
