The republicans took every shitty thing they said they hated about other countries like Russia, China and even North Korea and made those things goals.

Issue is, critique of those regimes started to be worded “tactically”, to make it seem those problems are unique to those systems, or even silenced completely, and at worst just inventing nonexistent problems of theirs. In Hungary, we no longer hear about arrest quotas of the secret police since 2014, the issue of the Hungarian youth under the communist regime of not being able to wear Levi jeans and Adidas shoes are exaggerated to comical degrees, but now we also have urban legends that the Rákosi and Kádár regimes wanting to implement stuff that are out of current day culture war bullshit.

If you lived there you’d know it’s optics. They’re libertarian in Denver and Boulder and the rest of the state is red. There’s even sundown towns. You can smoke pot and marry your bro but you better both have beards and like fishing or else you’re getting fitted for the barbwire fence.

All the governors but two since 78
2024 is showing signs of slowing or gerrymandering attempts.

I didn’t make fun of China for being a surveillance state. I was terrified for the citizens for China being a surveillance state. Same with the UK.
