My friend...

Sometimes this can be implying only some of a demographic, but, more often than not, implies the whole.

You quite openly acknowledge that there's an ambiguity in the worlds but only want to see the side that promotes your confirmation bias. Ok then 👍.

So, using that context clue, we can conclude that the first sentence means "All Americans" when you wrote "they", not just "some Americans".

Not sure how you've jumped to that conclusion. It means "most Americans" at best. Not all. Most. That is after all how your election system works. Most of the people in the US that took part in the 2024 election voted on favour of this mad orange git. The last time I checked most doesn't mean all. Unless that's something else you've bastardised from the language 😂?

The fact remains you've jumped to conclusions. It's cool. No harm done. Now do us all a favour and actually stand up and vote those loonies out of your government. That'd do nicely, lad 👍.

You know exactly how you came off, don't try to shift the blame on me for your poor wording choices, if that's even what you meant, which I doubt.

Way to assume I haven't been trying to vote the loonies out, I've been doing that and more.

And also take that "that'd do nicely lad" and shove it, that's condescending and we both know it.
