Nah, Humans And Americans in General And Majority Are Not Evil;
Even Studies of Chimps Thwart Common
Beliefs They (Chimps) Are Not Kind,
Altruistic, And Reconciling With Each Other
In Forgiveness
After Monkey
"Fisticuffs" And
Such as That Overall...
You Are Using A Very Narrow
Definition Here With the Death
Penalty and The Real Yet Relatively
Rare Occurrence That Someone Innocent
is 'Put Down' This Way; Let's Face It, Not
Everyone Loves the Enemy; Some Folks
Still Go By The Older CuLTuRaL Rules of
An Eye For An Eye, A Tooth For A Tooth, Vote
For the One In Charge Again to Keep Your CuLTuRaL
RuleS in Tradition
In Tact, Yes, Including
An Eye for an Eye in Death Ways True...
Sadly, Yes Even if the Charges Come Up
False Before it is too late to save an Innocent Life...
These Are CuLTuRaL Norms And as Fluid As the
85 Percent of Evangelical So-Called Christians Who Still
Voted for the Worst Example Now of a Beatitudes Direction
Leader in the History of Our Country to Date, At Least...
CuLTuRE With All the Symbols And Co-Created Traditions
Is More of What Creates Humans Who Are Bad to Each Other...
Yet the Human
Mostly Hairless
Ape Living in Loving
Balance of All Stuff Life
Inhaling Peace Exhaling Love Are 'Cool Beans'
A Real Classical Gas of Happiness True Now Too..

If you ask a murderer "why did you kill?" he's likely to answer "because I like it, because I'm bad and there's nothing you can do about it." ..."Dah Devil made me do it!"

Do you honestly believe I'm evil? I'm an American after all.

I didn't know you were the majority of Americans.

I'm starting to agree with the OP... The majority of Americans in this country really are becoming a bunch of collective narcissists and sadists with no sense of empathy or compassion. History teaches that every time this kind of thing happens in a country it never ends well.
I guess I'm in the minority of Americans who realize this.

Logical deduction is as follows:
1. The majority favours DP.
2. The majority don't care about innocent being put to death, even though they know the risk.
No. 2 is evil because you are in favour of executing an innocent (it is is evil to punish an innocent). Therefore, the logical conclusion must be that the majority (no. 1) are evil.

A poll from the Pew Research Center released in June suggested that 60% of US adults favoured the death penalty, though nearly 80% believed there was some risk that an innocent person could be put to death.

Amerians are a weird mob.

Being for the death penalty is not enough to make someone classifiable as "evil".
Andy Rooney said "I am against the death penalty, but there are some people I read about in the news that I could just kill". LIke him I lean toward being against the death penalty, but I cant say that l disown and lack all sympathy for folks who support it.

Most people are emotionalists rather than rationalists.
Studies have verified this.
However,
Based on what I have seen, there is a disproportionate number of emotionalists, in America.
