The thing is, it's really impossible to come to a logical conclusion of what the word "significant" represents in your reply. What does a "significant percentage" mean to you?
I'm not saying that there aren't some Americans out there with really shitty views, but how do you actually decide what percentage of the population they are? What's the end result of your statement here? What's the point of you making this comment here?
Idk, I'm just exhausted by these types of statements in general. These "don't forget that a lot of people are terrible!" suggestions from the sidelines. These "why are you upset, it's not surprising!" statements... as if there's any insight here.
I'm fucking frustrated too. I just think that the first step to becoming evil or indifferent to evil is believing that that's just how most people are.
For me at least, I'm wanting to focus our efforts beyond the goal of simply educating the unaware. A huge amount of effort over the last 8+ years has been in "awareness". That if we simply made people aware of the bad stuff, that they'd correctly see it as bad and would want to take action.
It's an entirely different problem we face when people are aware of the bad stuff and either don't care or actively support it. The 'solution' can't simply be awareness campaigns and the hope that people will react the way we want them to. We have to do something actually effective.
