Being a decent person means you are unwilling to do things you know are going to hurt others, even if they’re assholes. You’ll avoid conflict.
The problem is that assholes have no such restrictions, so they’re just fine with fucking other people over.
And then you have the people that drive past the car crash who just don’t want to deal with it.
So you can have relatively few assholes who can do a lot of damage. I wouldn’t say there are more stupid/evil ones, there are just a large majority unwilling to engage in the actual conflict needed to stop them.
I disagree, when a majority of more than two thirds of Americans either voted for or failed to vote against Trump, they decided they were OK with a sociopathic president that might destroy democracy for USA.
Opinion polls show that Trump still has about 33% support! Taking away healthcare from people, threatening USA’s nearest and strongest allies, supporting Putin’s war against Ukraine, damaging the economy badly, abandoning hundreds of international agreements, the atrocities of ICE and threatening democracy in USA, being obviously corrupt using DOJ to go after people who have opposed him. And this list isn’t even half complete of the shit he is doing, and STILL about 33% support him!
I guarantee that it’s easy to find another 18% that still support some of the above shit, and that absolutely means they are evil.
Claiming this is not a problem for a majority of the American people is delusional. You are refusing to acknowledge how bad it is.
There are lots of good Americans, unfortunately though there are even more stupid/evil ones.
Accurate, but Neil Young is Canadian.
I suppose I owe him an apology. 🫣
No American would do this. Young is Canadian.
Sorry, then maybe he is what Americans should strive to be.

Also/or the stupid evil ones are -at the moment- far more motivated to fuck things up than the decent ones are to try to fix things.
It’s definitely an uphill battle to be a good American today.
