OK that's not exactly a small example... seems you and a few others have a point here...
I agree we would have been at war in previous centuries, but I also think we have a lot to lose even now so people still need to be pushed further. However, we are at a point where being an American means little, but being a foreign in America means everything. We are also being told to stop being ourselves and be liberals and that is stretching our patience as well. We are also being imprisoned, fined, and punished for being Americans.
Push is coming to shove and we are seeing the cracks already whereby the people on whole no longer see government, the police, or any authoritarian agency as their friend.
