From an American: I'm sorry
I'm sorry that our government has surrendered to a dictator. I didn't vote for this administration. I don't want the leaders we have. I've written letters, attended town hall meetings, and marched in protests. But no amount of effort seems to be making a difference anymore.
To the international community: please don't hate all of us. At least half of us are being held hostage by our government. The avenues we normally use to make our voices heard and affect our government are being taken away. The "Power of the People" has been systematically disassembled.
I've never been more embarrassed of my country and the cowards who run it.
What can I do, as an American who didn't vote for Trump, to repair my/our reputation in the international community? How can I assure people that we DON'T all agree with what MAGA has done and continues to do?
Or am I just resigned to being hated for being an American? Not that I can blame those who have taken that stance.
