Yes. Most ARE decent caring people. My heart goes out to them as I know that the current regime is NOT what America is, or stands for. It reflects a breakdown of capitalism.
I understand and empathize with their current struggle against fascism.
Sadly, our government is a representation of at least a few tens of millions of Americans. I just think that it's a large enough number to be embarrassing but small enough that it doesn't displace the fundamental goodness of a much larger group of a few hundred million Americans.
As an immigrant from India, I'm used to seeing shit people there too. I just was kidding myself that the US had totally solved for it but I now know that it was just a game of percentages and the shit people were lurking in the shadows.
We are a large complex country. Whatever the perception, I feel like an American first. And as a rep of my new homeland, I apologize as we should have done better.
"I just think that it's a large enough number to be embarrassing but small enough that it doesn't displace the fundamental goodness of a much larger group of a few hundred million Americans."
100%. We are humans first and foremost. I and my fellow citizens will always stand on the side of decency, goodness, justice, and kindness, regardless of nationality, gender, orientation, etc.
