It is worse. Many don't care. They believe in American exceptionalism.
- mdhb 2y agoThis is unfortunately what I mean when I said before that everyone is very aware of that fact and a lot of people are now suddenly very motivated to provide them with a free reality check until they’re able to deal with their oligarchy problem. I just watched a stadium full of Canadian hockey fans boo a black woman in a wheelchair singing the national anthem. I’d politely suggest that while that might look like a funny story on the surface is actually very dangerous. Edit: updated language to not imply poster is American, I didn’t mean anything personal by it at all but better to clarify all the same.
