I know America is painted as right wing religious and homophobia, racism, and Cold War propaganda still rear their ugly heads but we've at least reached a point where overt hatred towards gays and minorities are political bombshells you have to tiptoe around at least on a national level. We're willing to be dickwads but we have evolved standards that would be very hard to rollback after a certain point. Genocide against gays, minorities, and communists would still be unthinkable to the vast majority of the country.
