The problem with Chinese anything is that they’re a HUGE country, and their leaders are not much constrained (at all?) by empathy or anything but making themselves (and, oh yeah, the nation) more powerful.
Forget Chinese tyranny. Right here at home, Mike Pompeo is condescendingly telling us about his plans for a coup to reinstall the loser that nobody wants anymore.
The problem with American democracy is that 40% of the population is completely oblivious to the fact that we are turning into a tyranny with every passing hour.
Perhaps.. a little history would help. That “democracy” was part of a rental lease. The new landlords have every right to cancel all the previous terms. Heck.. the same thing happened right at home when trump became president.. and promptly cancelled all the civilized gains that the previous government made.
Poor Ramirez. Now he has to live under Chinese domination instead of his cherished Democracy with it’s treason trials for political opponents, the press as the enemy of the people and all science that does not confirm the leader’s words declared false. Worse, he will never get that state run media that his infallible leader promised. He could have been their chief comic.
During the decade or so following WWII, it was illegal for anyone with combined Chinese/German parentage to establish or cook at a restaurant lest those who ate meals they concocted would be hungry for power an hour later.

Overthrowing democracy is a bad thing, Ramirez?

trump and his apologists, like Ramirez here, are doing just fine giving democracy a bad name. Just as Putin intended.

nice attempt at a yet other distraction. You need to worry about the Orange threat that is trying to gobble up ours.

The problem with American commentary is that most haven’t even left the country once in their lives.
