The America you grew up in. It's just out in the open now and on full display because "no one saw this coming!" and it's been allowed to fester for years and years and YEARS!

America has been chocked full of racist, religious extremists and greedy ass wealthy people since it's inception. See slavery and ask Native Americans, Hispanics, Italians, Japanese (remember the interment camps?) and Irish and any Middle Easterner what they think about American racism.

Religious persecuting, see the witch trials and all the horrible bullshit the puritans did, and again, ask the Native Americans what they think. Do a quick google search on the current religious right. Anyone but me remember when GW Bush flew in from Vacation and the congress convened an "emergency" session of congress at MIDNIGHT so they could pass a law that applied to ONE citizen so they could override Terry Schavio's husband and keep her on life support indefinitely? Westboro Baptist Church ring a bell?

The forming of the KKK, America denying entry to Jews during WWII, American Nazi sympathizers, Jim Crow, lynchings, disproportionate application of the laws, see minority jail rates VS whites for drug arrests. Last but not least, greedy ass wealthy people, again see plantation owners and other "whites" afraid those "dirty minorities" might get something, and while were at it, we'll fleece EVERYONE. Poverty, underemployment, next to impossible access to education coupled with redlining for MANY minority groups and that's pretty self explanatory. So yeah, this IS the America you grew up in. You're just now realizing the fantasy wasn't real.
