Just to be clear, I did not botch a damn thing; I voted for Harris.
Everything else you said, assuming you mean "you" as in Americans generally rather than attacking me personally, I agree with.
It is "you" as in Americans, and I mean every one of you individually.
I have no need to differentiate. Americans are as hostile to me right now as Russians, I don't acknowledge any more individuality within one of those groups than the other.
So yeah, once Americans stop being hostile or get so hostile we need to actually fight them it's all the same to me. I'll let politicians and spies care about how much opposition to the regime there is and how it can be leveraged in the ongoing cold war. I have no need to engage any further than that.
Americans aren't a "minority".
Well, if they move here they are, I suppose, and then it's whatever. Just like Russian political refugees seeking asylum I have no problem managing that securely. They have all my empathy. That's more deference than America will give anybody else.
As citizens of a hostile country participating in its hostility, it is what it is.
