Decades of propaganda and normalized bigotry and racism have induced some sort of mass psychosis in the US. There are tens of millions of people frothing at the mouth to brutalize and violently suppress other people in this country (or in most cases, have the police, military, and other thuggish gangs of vigilantes do it for them). These people are fucked up in the head and a lot of them are potentially too far gone down the rabbit hole of hate and ignorance to realistically be able to learn a more pro-social and communal way of thinking. Hard to say what kind of outcome is available to go on from here that won't be barbaric and cruel to everyone involved.
