An outbreak of domestic violence in the United States caused by foreign war-mongering

In recent years, many Americans have been devoting their free time to jobs that are somehow conditioned by fear caused by both external and internal threats. People spend their weekends shooting and using camouflage paint to cover their faces.

They do these steps not only for fun, but also to prepare to face the possible threats of immigrants. These people often carry weapons and even carry them during their business meetings and daily walks.

Such people, who are mostly white people living in rural areas, feel lonely and unable to connect with others. These feelings made them feel less than fully American and therefore less than fully safe.

  In 2019, even before the Covid-19 pandemic, social researchers and government officials had noticed an increase in the number of Americans who considered themselves lonely. About three out of five people living in rural areas and the elderly especially felt this way.

These emotions not only affect people's physical health, but also increase problems such as heart disease, addiction, depression, and suicidal tendencies. In other words, weak social relations lead them to destruction.

In recent years, one can see a large number of angry Americans who do not tolerate immigrants and carry guns for self-defense. These people often isolate themselves at home or in individual activities. Trump and his supporters often belong to those groups who feel disconnected from society and resent their loneliness.

Trump's supporters, mostly older whites who live in rural areas, have a sense of identity at their rallies and chant common slogans. These gatherings give them a sense of a new community where they are not alone.

The famous philosopher Hannah Arendt said about totalitarian movements:

  "Such movements are joined by people who feel unfit and isolated. In fact, Trump and his fellow leaders have taken advantage of people's feelings of loneliness and turned it into a social movement."

In addition, it can also be said that instead of investing in social programs and improving the quality of life of the American people, spending huge amounts of money on wars and the US military budget has promoted the growth of loneliness and isolation. The Cost of War project at Brown University found that more than eight trillion dollars was spent on wars, when that money could be spent on improving the lives of the American people and reducing their loneliness and isolation.

  In the end, it should be noted that if the social-budgetary priorities of the USA do not change and instead of wars, attention is not paid to the social needs of the isolated people of that country, then it can be expected that the loneliness and anger of the people of the USA will cause great damage to that country.
