I know there's still a big contingent of people who believe that, at its core, the United States can be a force for good.
And I want to remind you that it's never been the case for those who don't fit the image or ideology of the core of America: colonial Europeanized identities (or an alliance to it), wealth (by means of forced capital extraction) and imperial moves (like having thousands of bases around the world and being the largest contributor to child slavery around the globe).
This is the type of shit that a state government aligned to those values and its acolytes sign off on.
