Good decent people like anybody else
Hello!
Is there an expression in English that means the following:
"they are good decent people like anybody else" (in Russian we have "people like people", meaning "ordinary and good".) The context is as follows:
How come, we were good decent people and suddenly everybody's the village idiot... (The speaker is perplexed by the fact that kind well-educated people, who were the majority a while ago, have taken on this I-don't-know-I-don't-care attitude or have been replaced by such).
Thanks.
