I do see a lot of American replies saying “well I didn’t vote for this so it’s not my fault.”

Fault isn’t the issue for me. All Americans have a responsibility to course correct. The sooner it can be done in numbers the less risky it is for them to stand up and speak out.

I think the punchline of this meme is based in the reality I find myself in. The rest of the world is trying to figure out what life is going to be like when a former ally becomes ambivalent at best and an active adversary at worst. I really can’t be arsed to respond to every commenter who sucks the oxygen out of the room seeking absolution or exception to the anti-American sentiment.

They have a strong individualist consumer culture. If they can't individually consume their way out of it, many of them think they've done everything they can.
