I think that's a better word than shamed. Because nobody told me to feel shame. I look around and just feel embarrassed. Really? This who we are? Any country that 1/3 of its population thinks DJT isn't conning the crap out of them embarrasses me as an American.

Or is it sadness I feel?

...

Yeah. It's sadness.

Not embarrassment.
