How might you react if a well-known politician went on camera and pulled a Greta Thunberg on the American people?

Greta Thunberg, the little Swedish girl who has been chewing out various world leaders about their inaction on climate change.

So: some well-known politician goes on camera and enumerates a handful of the worst problems we face. Then he/she says, “This is entirely the fault of the American people.”

How would you feel? Imagine both ways, first, someone on your “side”, and then someone on the other “side”. How would you react? What would happen to that politician? What if he added, “America, do better”? What would happen if he pulled a Jon Stewart and added, “America, you should be ashamed of yourselves”?
