Saying the quiet things out loud was the first term. Now he’s full mask off and burning everything to the ground.
I’m not sure how to judge if we’ve always been bad or not. Colonizing was big through most of our history. Perhaps all I can say, is we’re bad at punishing the right people. We’ve refused to punish anyone with power, from the military killing natives and Mexicans, slaveholders, the Confederacy, the Business Plot, the Red Scare, segregationists, Nixon-Kissinger, Reagan-Bush Sr, and now our current leader.
We’ll cross the world to crush someone, but we’re afraid to punish our rich and powerful at home. That just lets the rot set in, and it’s gotten to the critical level.
The thing is, we cross the world to crush someone all the time in the interest of the rich and powerful at home. That’s a full feature of the American system, not a bug.
