I don’t live in a blue state sadly, I can’t trust myself with a weapon because I know what would happen if I had one. So for me, I have to consider leaving everything behind just to be safe

Sadly we have to watch this dumpster fire go on while either planning to pick up the pieces once it’s over or you make a run for the border in hopes of saving yourself

I haven’t seen a future for this country for a while now

I ain’t goddamn pointing fingers, just merely highlighting the goddamn difference in the shittiness of the two. Why the fuck can’t you get it through your thick ass skull that I agree on the larger point but though it was a bad move to say we are worse than a nation which has been doing ethnic cleansing and genocide for literal decades?

Not everything is a black and white, agree or disagree. Maybe just maybe there are shades of gray where you can agree but not wholeheartedly agree. You do more damage to your own side by arguing with people who agree with you when you do this.

Did you even read the first line properly?

“China is also supporting genocide abroad, they are helping prop up Putin’s war in Ukraine.”

I understand that, my point on that was China is doing the same thing. And again not dismissing the things we are doing.

Buddy I didn’t deny anything about how our own government is actively an authoritarian regime or any of the shitty things it is doing. But we still are not at People’s Republic of China (PRC) levels yet. We do not actively censor the media on the same level as PRC where even the slightest hint of disapproval is enough to be disappeared, yes though the waters are being tested here. For now we still have elections on the state level that can mean something since more than one party can run. We are still allowed to protest here without just being shot on sight. We have an uncensored internet for the time being so I do think it is fair to say we are not as bad as the PRC.

China is also supporting genocide abroad, they are helping prop up Putin’s war in Ukraine. Which Russia is kidnapping children to “reeducate them and give them proper parents” while slaughtering civilians. China is also a one party state and brutally suppresses any attempt at a protest. Their interest and their media are highly censored and any mention of criticizing the state can get you disappeared or sent to a “reeducation camp”.

I’m not dismissing the shitty things we have done and are doing. Nor am I denying we are actively flying towards the competitive authoritarianism that China has. But as of right now we are not as bad as China is.

China is still actively committing genocide against the Uyghurs so I’d would definitely not say the last one
