1. America 'shouldn't' romanticize

But unfortunately has often been guilty of ...

Still, recognizing our mistakes is a step toward correcting ...

2. Unless they attack our capital?

Cause' there's been a ton of that shit going on for a long, long time now...

3. Or just plain lying about the violence of January 6th by Republican in Congress, calling it a "normal tourist visit"

Forgetting that the Capitol was closed to "tourist visits" during that period due to the pandemic.

4. Fuck this guy

He clearly implies that bad healthcare outcomes are just "bad luck" and "we can't save everyone". Holy shit was a myopic take on what the healthcare industry is actually doing .
Those bad outcomes are engineered to happen that way ON PURPOSE. They are withholding or limiting care, for which the person is paying to be covered for that care, that causes that person to become more sick or die. They do that for PROFIT because they are a for profit company. The CEO that was killed was a slimy piece of shit. While I do not advocate violence, I understand why people feel so helpless and hopeless and act out in self defense.
These assholes would have defended the British and attacked Jefferson and Franklin as radicals.
