    And what, pray-tell, do you suggest we learn from the French that we currently don’t practice?

    I also find it interesting that you insinuate to not be from the U.S. but claim to know the demographics of who is doing decent and how well they were doing. I know plenty of asian, black, and hispanic people who were/are just as wealthy as white people, more righting-leaning than white people, and/or otherwise voted for Trump.

    Ignoring that weird tangent you went on, quite literally everyone was doing better before Trump so long as you weren’t the wealthy elite (who are now even better than before), so functionally, by comparison, yes, America was doing decent across the board regardless of race, gender, class etc. What are you even trying to say?

      Ah, yes, anecdotes. Everyone knows these are as valid as cold, hard data.

      That this is not what “decent” means. Attempting to ad-hoc in a “by comparison” is a cop-out, because that’s literally not what you said. Things going from bad to worse is no excuse to call the bad state “decent.” George Floyd did not happen under Trump.
