I’ll just cut it to the core and say most Americans. There’s plenty that is bad, misguided, idealized while not including everyone, both in history and now, but I don’t think most people are doing all this. Represented is a good word, because I don’t think these people are, the image of America has been perverted, used, and stolen to mean something else entirely. That has to change, otherwise might as well find a new symbol because what there was to be proud of will be gone.

It’s interesting that you proceeded directly to vague statements instead of being able to name anything at all.
