The name calling and stupid insults are a significant reason for the stark decline of our country.
Racist, whatever-phobe, anti-semite, all contributions to decline. We are being taught to hate, and freely accept to seem virtuous.
Pathetic that a country other than America is held blameless, with the threat of cancellation.
Prior to radio, television, movies, cable, streaming, the internet, telephones, cell phone, there were phamphlets, posters, newspapers, town criers, letters,whispering campaigns, and face to face nastiness of ALL kinds!
Jefferson and Adams had a decades long feud and Jefferson was one of THE nastiest, vile, underhanded name caller and propaganda spread on American has EVER seen!
American WASPS weren't all that keen on the Germans here, nor were colonists and early Americans great re the Indians; though for many with good reason.
The North V. the South? That's also as old as the hills.
And with each wave of newcommers, name calling, terrible cartoons in newspapers, and yes, attacks were here too. As was political corruption!
Racism too!
Ditto religious bigotry; even within Protestant sects against each other!
And during WW I, there was rabid bigotry against certain Americans ONLY due to their last names and boycotts of their businesses, though these American citizens had been AMERICANS and professed NO allegiance to any other other nation!
