I think the next 3 or so years in the US are going to be a real awakening for you, if the last year hasn't. It's going to become more and more difficult to shove your head deeper into the sand.
See how I can have a different opinion and not get arrested? Whereas if you ask someone in China if they’re communist, they’re not allowed to say “No.”
When your opinion of a fascist authoritarian government is "nah I'm good", then anything that follows is nothing worth listening to. Using whataboutism to excuse the current administration is ridiculous.
