This is from The Onion from 2017. You know you live in a dystopia when satire becomes reality.

(16,402 posts)We're seeing living proof that the good far outnumber the bad. Good will prevail, but we have work to do. November is coming and our nation is deathly ill with infection. We have to lance the infected wound, to expose the rot and the pus, and to scrape out every trace of it. ONLY then can there be any healing. To do anything else would be to stand by and watch her die. We will do this. She will be well and strong again because we are strong now. Racism in all its forms, blatant to subtle, deliberate to subconscious bias, will be excised from the body of this nation.
