”how about putting down your broad brush, BW. Many of us are really hurting right now.”

I said ‘Oh Amerika’ - i.e. the nation - not ‘Oh Amerikans’ Gilly. I’m fully aware that not all Americans voted for Trump, but it is an undeniable fact that, as a nation, you elected him. So how about you cool off and get your head around the fact that my comment was made in sympathy/empathy for you as a nation, not as a criticism of any individual Americans?
