I weep that so much evil is committed in this world, & I don't feel it's getting better, but I weep most that I am certainly descended from many of its perpetrators.
One ancestral relative of mine was a noted "Indian killer" after the Revolutionary War.
War hero or Murderer? He was punished for at least 2 such murders, but only with a fine or something. So I can only assume that his relatives, including my ancestor, were of similar mind. Pride or Shame?
IDK. Maybe tRump is America's Karma. We non-natives ("settlers!") exist in large part because of the subjugation & murder of the First Peoples. But then, the Normans did so to the Saxons, who did so to the Britains, the Vikings were ruthless toward most of Europe, the Romans were toward almost everyone they met. Yes, most peoples have a past that involves THEIR ancestors being the winners somewhere along the line, the losers having been killed or absorbed.
But still we do it. We let children die in US CUSTODY. We sabotage people who are trying to NOT DIE by coming to the US.
We ignore our own teachings.
100 years before Wounded Knee George Washington thought we were better. But he also owned slaves, so...
Jesus seemed to have an opinion.
He was not, apparently, ready to approve of talking the talk while not walking the walk.
And there may be consequences.
Largely ignored by MAGAs...
