Dear USA,

Donald Trump is exactly who you are.

Donald Trump is simply the #noFilter USA the rest of the world was forced to become intimately familiar with long ago; one dropped bomb and one lost family member at a time. The same USA Native Americans and African Americans have always known.

Until you fully grasp that and start learning about, accepting responsibility for, and atoning for how your country came to be and for your crimes throughout history both at home and abroad, this is what you will remain.

“This is not who we are.”

Bullshit.

This is exactly who you are and who you’ve always been.

You want to change?

Start by accepting that.

@aral Indeed. It's fascinating to watch US liberals get angry over Russia assisting Iran in defending itself against an aggressive war by two belligerents. Embedded in the outrage is the pretext that Iranians should simply accept their fate and die under American and Israeli bombs because they shouldn't be able to retaliate against those attacking them.
