I won't attempt to answer your question, but I will say that thinking in the U.S. has become so binary that any remark one makes is often enough for people to immediately assign you a label, and all the attributes they associate with that label now become attached to you (if not the bike you rode in on.) To me, that is the greatest danger, the inability of a country's citizens to think, discern, write, speak with any nuance. Hard to have any real understanding or empathy if we can't at least do that.
