Not the institutions necessarily, but that’s in part true.
He has opened the Pandora’s box of hatred and that might be very difficult to close.

I’ll be curious to talk to my German friends about this. Like, I need them to explain how a nation heals from hatred. Considering I don’t think we (dominant white society) have ever really healed the wounds of oppression of our indigenous, black or brown brethren, maybe it never happens. I don’t study the US for a living so I just don’t know.
