I think we'd need to be honest about it and compare individual European countries to individual US states. New York and California are NOT like Alabama, Texas and Florida.

California, Illinois and New York have different populations and different issues than Ohio, Texas, and Alabama for example.

I’m not sure what you’re getting at. The mass shooting that happened 2 weeks earlier was in New York.

And the social issues I pointed out are not state specific. I’d argue it largely applies to the US as a whole.
