You can be upset with the results of the election but it doesn't change them. In a very real sense what you wanted to happen is irrelevant. A second Trump administration is the collective will of the American people and the rest of the world has every right to be annoyed with us for it.
- And I'm sure insulting the people you'd like to do better at changing the situation is definitely going to help with your annoyance.
  I mean seriously, this is a bit like saying to a trans person like me that while you are annoyed at the transphobia that kills people it's really my fault for not "doing something" about it.
  WTF man.
  
  No it's not like that at all. Americans chose this. You're an American. Stop making excuses and accept that this is how the world sees us and we deserve it.
  
  Are you German? Please tell me you are German.
  
  Are you not picking up on the words we and us when I talk about Americans?
  
  You are right, I missed that.
  And that's so much worse.
