What I find revolting is the number of people in this country still supporting him, and the way the rest of the world has been quick to turn their collective backs on all Americans because they ignore the fact that a good portion of us really hate him too but they are quick to say s**t like "Those yanks DESERVE a dictator like Trump!"

Fairness has nothing to do with it. Collective guilt is not fair but normal. During WWII did the Allies refrain from leveling German and Japanese cities because a lot of those we killed probably opposed Tojo and Hitler?
Do you expect Canadians to not boycott us after we tarriff them and keep on threatening to make them our 51st state because it hurts Americans that voted against Trump?
Trump just crystallized feelings against Americans that have building up for a long time. All to often American tourists come over to their countries and instead of being grateful they were granted the privilege of visiting their countries act all entitled.
I usually do not feel guilty about what my government does but this is different. It isn’t that we elected him, it is that we did it twice. Hopefully somehow we revert this mistake. But even so this is something I have a hard time envisioning fully getting over.
