    Who didn’t know that the US was the Mecca of bigotry, racism, homophobia, and corporate greed? Seriously, I can’t be the only person who saw this coming as soon as Trump’s name went on the ballot in 2016.

      I knew this in the 80s when I met one of their racist children while camping. That country was forged on exploitative practices and it’s never recanted or changed, just wallpapered over its flaws and failures with increasingly intricate excuses.

      We are finally seeing the effects of the rot below the veneer.
