It is worse. Many don't care. They believe in American exceptionalism.

This 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.

I would suggest not assuming everyone you converse with is American.

Who thought Canadians booing the US anthem was funny? I saw anger from jingoistic Americans. Sorrow from others.
