the American people must use the Internet we put into the world to demand that it know we are not a monolith and that the psychopath does not and never will act in the name of 77% of Americans.

While some of us are good people, our country is not.

We The People ARE THE COUNTRY.

Americans are NOT who or what they are called. AMERICANS ARE ONLY WHAT THEY ANSWER TO.
THAT same principle applies to all humans.

You may not presume to drag 77% of the country into what the psychopathic leader of the 23 % is doing. Your anger is irrational -- and perhaps an emotional habit that you hyper-rationalize -- particularly in this international context.
We mustn't succumb to that.

Nor should any of us succumb to the temptation of calling all Iranians as evil as their leaders. Right? Think about it.
