I have lived in the US at a time of populist propaganda, profound division by social, race and economic lines, MAGA against WOKE propaganda and rising violence, to the point where the possibility of a civil war is not at all remote. I get this repeated vision of cowboys and hillbillies armed to their teeth and claiming more freedom as opposed to civil liberties. To free America of the extremes you will possibly have to envisage crimes similar to those perpetrated by the allied nations to win the Nazis, but once you release the genie from the lamp, not sure you can all it back.
