There's no divide between americans wishing to be afforded all of the rights and privileges that being an american brings. Anywho, systemic racism isn't a regional phenomenon.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Of course, some parts of the country are more blatant about it, as you almost certainly have to know.

But Trump and his far-right propaganda won the elections in 2016 !
America is not united, and the danger of a new civil war is at hand:

America is at the brink of a new civil war. But keep your head buried in the sand.
BTW.. the American soldiers you see worldwide are only there because the money is flowing.

(Emphasis added)
Which has pretty much been the case with all soldiers in all times and in all places throughout human history. Armies are expensive.

Actually Trump lost the popular vote by about 2-3 million votes.
He has not gained any support since 2016.

We have been over the popular vote/Electoral College thing with Atlass before. He refuses to accept the difference.
On this topic, as with others with Atlass…

By a squeeker, in the Electoral College, and the point is, he hasn't gained any support in 3.5 years.

After his party disenfranchised over ten million US citizens, illegally. After his fellow party member Comey decided to reopen a dead investigation (because despite it being run by a bunch of Clinton hating crypto fascists, it could find nothing criminal) in the dying weeks simply because Trump was floundering. After Trump himself became fluffer for Putain in exchange for illegal foreign state interference in the election (a treason, I may add), he barely squeaked by because of an antiquated and explicitly anti-democratic measure implemented by the founding fathers to preserve slavery.
If the Dumbfuck likes those kinds of victories, more power to him.
