There no longer exists a reasonable social consensus in America. A large proportion of the population has devolved into post religious, neo pagan decadence.
There isn’t a reasonable social consensus now because Democrats have conspired to increase this country’s population with non-assimilating, dissatisfied foreigners to the tune of upwards of 100 million people if you count both legal and illegal entrants.
Then, couple this with a comprehensive social media, TV, Film and entertainment industry geared towards dissent and decadence, and you have a recipe for some king of final confrontation at some point which the media misery ghouls are doing their best to foment controversy.
