There are definitely varying degrees as to how far that phenomenon has taken hold, and it has done so to a much larger degree in the US than in a lot of other countries. There is not really any point in trying to relativise this, it is not "business as usual", this is radicalisation on a 1930s Germany level.

It seems to me that most of the crime comes from inside of the White House.

It doesn't necessarily mean that at all, that is your own personal opinion, not fact. Pay people a decent livable wage and they will perform your manual labour.

Never understimate the power of bigotry as a political motivator, in particular among the uneducated. Trump and his oligarch cronies certainly doesn't.

That is not really something you can say with certainty. Products you buy can easily have had materials or services from the EU involved somewhere in the production chain, and regardless of how far out in that chain they are, those tariffs will fall on you to pay as the end product consumer.

I think Harry Potter is pretty shitty and uninteresting fiction. It is not really a constructive argument though, because it is entirely subjective. A lot of people thinks that Lovecraft wrote some great and interesting fiction, so I am not really sure what you are trying to say.

Looks like a good amount of calories to me, the two fruitdrinks alone would make up for most of it. The problem is that most of it comes in the form of sugar and carbohydrates. And there is a worryingly lack of fibre, which means that whoever eats that will likely get hungry again in a short while and crave "snacks" and other unnecessary calories.

Also educated people tend to vocally disagree with fascists, so obviously fascists wants fewer of them around.

Plant the bulbs before winter.

You don't need an acre of land. You can grow tomates in pots and keep them on your balcony (if it gets enough sun), even in a relatively northen climate, as long as it is the season. You will need to water them and prune them occasionally, but it is not really a lot of work. And it will keep you in tomatoes for several months. That is definitely cheaper than anything professional farmers can produce.

It will not replace storebought produce, but it is a very nice supplement.

Almost all of American cities I guess.

Considering the entire history of the US is one big upwards transfer of wealth, that is really saying something.
