**Some** Americans Are Embarrassed About What Our Nation Has Become

Let’s be honest.  The American people elected this SOB just a few months ago, and he was hardly an unknown quantity.

We need to deal with the fact that almost half of U.S. voters approve of ignorance of basic economics, white nationalism, the systemic cruelty of asylum seekers, the abolition of minority rights, the rejection of science, and the demolition of public education.

I understand the impulse to apologize, but at the same time, we need to face the truth about who we are.
