I'm a US citizen and though I don't think you should hate people due to their government, I do think you can attribute some responsibility for the government actions to the people.
If we live in a democracy, then we are responsible for the actions of our government.
You do not live in a democracy or anything close to it. It's a constitutional republic, but the representatives are bought and paid for by people who do not have the public's best interest in mind. I do not accept responsibility for things I not only have no control over whatsoever, are governed and controlled by forces much more powerful than I could ever realistically be, even if I wanted to.
It's frankly a delusion many americans still hold that they can somehow vote their way out of this situation. I don't know how at all it is salvageable, I think best case for Americans and probably the world is that we slowly lose all relevance until the powers that be get bored and go prey elsewhere.
