It's okay.
People haven't forgotten the genocide of indigenous populations that happened when the Americas were first colonized.
I don't think anybody will let them live this down either.
As a nation, we have had two indelible stains on our history that we can never erase - the genocide of the indigenous people on our hemisphere, and slavery.
Now we will have a third one - The Trump Era. We will have to wear it forever, just like Germany will always have to wear their Nazi Era.
There's also the crazy amount of foreign incursions, destabilisation and coups, TBF. Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Yemen... and this is all post WW2 only. 😞
