Really bad, but the difference is the volume and scale. US government oppressing ethnic minorities is a horrible act, but not a new one. US government deliberately oppressing a large fraction of the majority is.
Doesn’t make it better or worse, but it is a marked shift
right. thats my point. there isn’t a scale such as a binary, thus it has never been a “good” (as in healthy) nation, in its black and white (again a binary) form.
i’m just trying to push a rhetoric that stops folks from pining for day bygone that were better. they have never been better, just different
contrasting two tail ends of a continuous spectrum still points to a shift, and the availability to place a wide threshold between them does imply a certain level of robustness when used as a binary classification
