This kind of circular bullshit is exactly what makes modern day America pathetic.
There used to be a can-do attitude here in this country. People would look at a problem and go ‘okay lets fucking fix it’ and then we would (or at least fucking try). Now, way too many fucking people just want to sit and bitch about problems and something not being perfect, and refuse to do anything to fix said problems. This can’t-do attitude bullshit is fucking infuriating.
Calling bullshit on this. The US has always been a genocidal settler state with nothing but contempt for the poor especially if you aren’t white.
This romanticism of some bygone “better days” is also part of the problem. Those days you pine for were extremely fucked too, you just weren’t there or if you were you were comfortably middle class and probably white.

Perfect being the enemy of good is how we roll.
teaming up with “we have been living with this problem therefore we don’t need to fix it”
