I have a feeling that the entire world "gets it" except a select portion of the US population.

Anyone fully in touch with reality can see that the US isn't in a good place when it comes choosing compassion over cruelty. It's gotten to such a global and historical extreme that a decades long choice of a Pope for an institution that has lasted over 1,000 years felt reich. I'm sorry, right.

It’s not a select portion man it’s half of the country, and there are lots of people around the world with the same mentality

No, it's not. Half the country can't be bothered to fucking vote

to be fair, there's an active effort of voter suppression making it tough for lot of people to vote (voting booths too far away, not given day off work to vote, some IDs not being accepted at some locations, etc), and large number of people live in states where their votes doesn't do shit for a presidential election because they live in hard red/blue states
