I am gay and have friends who are trans. Yes, I am well aware of stochastic terrorism against LGBTQ people, as well as how right wing politicians are exploiting nutcases to get votes at the expensive of our safety. Domestic violence I find perplexing. It happens, but it's illegal and there are many institutions trying to tackle it. The US is far from the worst here, especially considering many countries still don't recognize domestic violence as a real thing.

The war on drugs is bad, but the US has a set of policies that are left over from the 1990's when things were really bad and no one really knew what to do. Even Black leaders went along with them, since their neighborhoods were the ones that were actually affected by the crime wave. Fortunately, we are seeing the slow unwinding of these polities. Now, compare the US's war on drugs to Singapore (death penalty for drug trafficking) or Dirty Deuterty's free-for-all on anyone who was even alleged to be a drug addict. Decisions by SCOTUS have limited the death penalty to murder only, and even then it is being slowly abolished.
