"We" could be a little more exact in writing. "A lot of Americans are fine with this....."

Granted, it's a nitpick of mine, but using "we" in these statements is a lazy cop-out. "We" are not all allowing this. There are a LOT of people who are fighting back. Unfortunately those of us who are fighting can only do so much. And that's my frustration - I often feel powerless.

So how to we reach those who are fine with it? Can they be reached?

Sorry I'm picking on you.
