Most internationals who are looking at this comm understand pretty well that it's not all of America, even when we rant about "stupid Americans, what have you done?" (There's an automatic #notallAmericans clause in there, rather like any statement to which some dudebro is going to add #notallmen. If it's not your fault - ie. you voted for Hillary and the Dems - then the disclaimer doesn't apply.)
And as I said above: your politics and society is the most televised and broadcast in the world. Chances are, we'll know more about your politics and your general society than we'd know about the pockets of our own cultures. That makes you extremely influential, and when your president and government normalises such anti-humanitarian behaviour against its own citizens, it affects everyone.
