Of course the US was just filling the same wound Europeans left. I'm not trying to play a blame game here, but if you're pale, the nation you were born in probably had a pretty big part in our current world dynamic. How far back do you want to go as well? Maybe the Europeans should have dealt with their religious extremists instead of shipping them off to the "New World", that wasn't that long ago.
I think this line of reasoning is ridiculous and just serves to benefit the people running the death cult. Just like wishing for bloodshed among a group of people you think is far enough away you can ignore. This is the kind of stuff that trump and his ilk are all about.
To build on this, the anti-American sentiment is what fuels the xenophobia of that party. "Fuck America" is what makes people go "ya know what let's just not have allies anymore" and start threatening everyone.
Nuance isn't that hard. It's simple, actually. Fuck the people who are in charge of and in support of these decisions. Fuck the people who actually gain from fucking over the rest of the world.
It's not like Trump intends to listen to me or my trans husband anyway. If anything, even against the NRA's wishes (by some miracle), he wants us to be ineligible to even own a gun.
