Why do some Americans "feel ashamed" for being American even when it's not their fault?
Why do some Americans "feel ashamed" for being American even when it's not their fault?
For Context: I'm Chinese American, and I do not feel "ashamed" for my heritage, neither do I feel "ashamed" for being a US Citizen.
The CCP is not my fault. I do not feel any shame of saying I'm from China.
Similarly, the trump admin is not my fault, I voted Harris. I do not feel any shame for being American.
So what is the thought process of people feeling shame/guilt?
