First, I think OP is making a big deal where it’s not necessary. And the US as a nation has done many fucked up things.

That said, thinking about people not nations, I’m American and I didn’t elect a felon. Yes, 77 million voters picked Trump, which is shitty and doesn’t make sense. 75 million voters chose Kamala. And around 110 million people of voting age didn’t vote at all. (Which also doesn’t make sense to me)

But you can imagine for those 75 million people it’s not going to feel good to be painted with the same brush, and it’s not kind to do so.
