The national guard doesn't shoot people; that's been democratized to police and private citizens.
The big violent demonstrations are gone. What passes for it these days is a pale shadow.
One "benefit" of the increased inequality is that people making less than the median are too exhausted to demonstrate, much less rebel. Rebellion has always been the act of those who belong, and by excluding more of society there is "peace".
Scare quotes used in case it's not obvious that I don't approve.
Um... didn't the biggest riots in American history just happen two years ago?
How does one measure these things precisely anyway?
Last 2 years have been nothing, except for the ‘implications for democracy’ anyway.
Pick any metric - deaths, injuries, property damage, etc.
