Again, the 300M+ people living here are not the exact same entity as our corrupt and greedy leaders, anymore than most Russians are the same as Putin.

I know- I’m one of them. But our leaders, our media and our flaws are how we present to the world, and ~25 to 30 percent of the population being a racist, fascist death cult is a factor that goes way beyond corrupt leaders. The majority of us may be decent people, but in its current state, disproportionately influenced by its very worst citizens, America the country is extremely dangerous. I had considered this, which is why I chose the word “America” rather than “Americans”.
