You: "How dare you ....!?"

Later You: "This is why a large portion of Americans could care less about the defense of Europe."

Due to the fucked nature of the political system in America most people don't matter. Who cares if someone in California supports aid to Ukraine when Trumpistic and Putinistic swing-voters in Georgia does not.
