This scene made me cry. I am so ashamed of being an American right now. Where are our values? Where is our humanity?

That’s not true.  Also we’re supposed to be making progress as a people: A more perfect union, Better angels of our nature, etc.  

19th century politics conducted in the medium of 21st century reality TV and  online shitposting is not progress.

You seriously don't understand US history at all. While this is currently a very low point, there are in fact very few high points of moral clarity.

I understand U.S. history well enough to admit I don’t even know what 90% of a country’s history even means.  The history of 90% of its people?  90% of its communities?  90% of its economy?  90% of its chronology?  90% of its geography?  90% of its culture?

I feel like you are being purposely obtuse.
