> You say that like you want it to happen. It has already started [1]. It has increased 100% since 2015. Just in the past decade alone. This is only reported hate crimes. > If you want a better America first you have to envision it instead of tearing it down. That ship has sailed long ago. > American imperialism is well documented. We have military outposts all over the world. Puerto Rico is still in essence a colony. Still not an Empire. You can call it an outward expansion or projection of power but not direct control. An Empire has direct control over colonies that send back tributes which run the Kingdom and give its residents prosperity, at the expense of residents of colonies who are taxed and deprived of their wealth. The tributes outweigh whatever growth is happening within the Kingdom itself. Puerto Rico or any of the military outposts are not equivalent. Puerto Rico does not run USA. USA losing Puerto Rico will not do anything to its economic or military power.
