I see nothing wrong with the people of Russia. However, the Russian state and Putin himself work very hard to undermine the USA and occasionally harm its people, and at other times, the people of other sovereign nations.

Truthfully I would hope Russians feel the same way about the USA. While United States citizens might seem amicable to Russians, the US government is not meant to be their friend.

Essentially, I don't get a vote in Russia's government, so I don't want it affecting my life

Okay I think this is the answer I was looking for, thank you. It also helped me understand why my question was a little off the mark/why I got downvoted so much.
