I disagree. Division and dissention have been part of America's history. America nearly destroyed itself in the Civil War, and it nearly happened again during the 1960s. China doesn't have to destroy the USA from within. That has nearly happened on its own a few times. The riots we had in 2020, riots have been occurring in America from day one.

Personally as I get older I just get more and more tired of the really stupid. We live in an era with a wealth of information at our fingertips (assuming you can remove yourself from your echo chamber).
This^^^^^^

It used to be that way.

As a moderate/centrist, pre-Trump, the right was worse to those who disagreed with them. After the 2016 election, it seemed to have flipped.

Actually, America has always been a country where cultures have tried to ride over others. The idea of the melting pot, if it really rang true, we would not have had "Little Italy" or "Poletown" or intense racial segregation. If we had a true melting pot we would not have had race riots in this country's history.

Wrong.

We have a larger Chinese, Indian, Pakistani, Middle East, and First Nations population than the USA.

We have a much more diverse religious grouping. If you think "white" or "black" is what counts as diverse, you are wrong.

Here is one of the better source establishing the facts.

the hate and fear mongering franchise is owned by the hijacked democrat party in collusion with their official propaganda media machine.

for 4 year they have been sowing hate and fear and doing their best to project it on Trump.

their hate filled 4 year rant has helped to divide the country and give the world a false impression there actually is palpable hate evenly distributed across the country.

A political agenda by the democrats is the source of all hate and division.

NBC edits a 911 call to make the caller appear racist

Biden, media and media luminaries promote the lie of Charlotte

Biden claimed Trump said passed service people were suckers and losers

media and dem politicians claimed trump was in league with russia, ignoring the partnership obama had with Putin

Trump was falsely prosecuted for 4 years and for the previous 4 years were stalled by the slow walking and lies by the FBI and CIA.

The preface for the attempted cabal on Trump was intiated by USAG older under Obama. Holder falsified a warrant and judge shopped to spy on journalists challenging obama's policies. This gave a green light and precedent to Comey and friends to continue the crime.

Yes, if the USA would have embraced cultural and race diversity, it would not have committed the intentional genocide against the indigenous First Nations that were there long before any European settler thought of crossing the Atlantic. What a horrible legacy rarely taught in schools in any detail.

Canada is 72% European white. You’re fooling nobody.

Go back to the Canada forum. Please.

To be honest, many countries have a history of racial violence. The USA isn't alone in this. As for the USA, racial harmony has never been a thing. Racial hatred has been around from day one.
