What values does the US represent?

Note that they said "professes to represent" (emphasis mine). What the US professes to represent and what it actually represents for various people aren't totally unrelated, but it's a relationship that's always been pretty fraught.

Hunting down brown people and shipping them off to concentration camps, based on what's been happening the past few months.

Supposedly freedom of speech for one. Hard to see that as being real today.

It was harder to see during COVID.

And yet here you are saying it.

Based on the current administration, I can think of 14 words that I will refuse to repeat here.

I assume your referring to this

> We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourteen_Words

and further that you're intending to use it as a burn on Trump and his government?

Regardless of what you think about them and Neo-Nazis/white supremacists, I think it's unfair because the policies of the current administration with regard to war, debt, environmentalism etc. evince a total disregard for the futures of children of any colour.

That is due to incompetence, not desire.

Freedom seems like the obvious example here, unless I'm not catching your meaning.

At this point mostly hypocrisy.

You will only get edgy responses, most can’t comprehend what to think when people acting under a system of values fail to reach their proposed ideals.

violence, oppression, and hypocrisy about it all
