> Except Trump is just as authoritarian as China so what difference does it make who they adore?

How do you figure?



Oh maybe you haven't seen the news, sorry.

The capitol storming and freeing all that participated. Having major cities being taken over by the army. Stifling free press. You know all that good old dictatorship playbook stuff.


> The capitol storming and freeing all that participated.

I don't have an opinion on that. It is the president's prerogative to pardon whoever he wants, no justification necessary.

> Having major cities being taken over by the army.

That is the National Guard. Not the same thing as the Army. The Army would be a very bad option should that happen. The cities are not taken over. The mayor/police chief of those cities have no desire to reign in crime, the federal government has to step in. Depending on your political views, this is a good thing or a bad thing. Bottom line is that people much more safer now in DC than they were 2-3 weeks ago.

> Stifling free press.

For this I have zero information. Link(s)?

I find that the people who make statements like this don't actually live in cities. Its like you got your talking points from Stephen Miller.

I actually leave in a big city. And I do not know who Stephen Miller is.
