This just oozes classiness and decorum.

Why do you want us to be embarrassed about it? Many of us didn't vote for him, and have been working hard to fight his fascist regime. We're victims too and you're blaming us?

I think you're reading a little too much into the comment you're replying to. I didn't vote for Trump but I'm still embarrassed to have him as our president. Although... outraged to the point of exhaustion would be more accurate.

If I feel like we've been attacked for being American, my pain is valid, even if the author "didn't mean it". He could have said, "we (humans) should be embarrassed" or "I sympathize for you" or something similar, but instead chose something hurtful and inflammatory.

He's welcome to explain himself or apologize.
