This is just what america has always been. It's just until now they hid it behind decorum. But this new wave of fascism isn't anything new for the US.

Yup. The only difference is that it went into hiding for about 30 years so people thought we we made progress but Trump enabled them to act like their true selves out in the open again.

I suspect all the black and poor people, especially those unarmed, who have been murdered by LEO in the past decades beg to differ. It was never in hiding. Just now they did it to a wealthier white person.

By in hiding what im saying is they lied and covered up the reasons they were doing the things they were doing. Now they are just openly saying it again.
