The point is there's this false narrative about a dichotomy of bad and good America where people like to claim they're from the good part...

The history doesn't really bare that out and the peculator American prejudice seems to simply retarget more often than recede.

The largest mass lynching, for instance, was against Italians.

Anti Irish riots? Sure what about Philadelphia : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philadelphia_nativist_riots

This history is everywhere in the USA.

Or look at the Bronx in the 1970s or Tulsa in 1921. We didn't need bombs to drop on our cities from an adversary - we did it to ourselves

So when people say "is this American society breaking down?"

I say "no. This is simply American society"
