I agree with most of what you’re stating although that’s not what I meant to express with my comment about the DNA.
I was referring to the very beginnings of the US when incomers (immigrants) started conquering the land from the indigenous people, then slavery, then meddling in numerous countries over the decades, toppling governments to suit their own idea of superiority etc.
You know what I’m talking about.
Nothing new and continuing under whoever is elected.
It’s just that the US in my understanding of history hasn’t changed (from manufacturing & peaceful trading towards violence etc) and becoming rich was mainly due to exploitation of other nations and their resources.
Hope your family stays safe. 🕊️
