I think the world as a whole is done with being nice about Americans. Patience thoroughly depleted. Frustration to the fore. Could almost have pretended The West Wing wasn’t just a Hollywood cokehead’s fantasy, but not any more.

If you want to shit on America the country, I'm with you. I could hardly disagree with the top comment in this chain; America is, after all, racist, bigoted and fascist right now. The nation, and especially the government, deserve all the vitriol.

But please don't shit on Americans writ large. Too many of us hate this just as much as you do, and we really don't appreciate being lumped in with those who enabled it.

You are literally lumped in with them

I honestly have no idea how to respond to this. Did you read my comment and its context? Because I can't figure out what point you're even trying to make, so it really feels like you didn't.

You're giving off I'm not like other Americans vibes, I don't respect it lol
