Lol. As a non-American, I appreciate your very accurate and quite humorous post.

As much as I support the people of America, this isn't my problem to solve. If you come to me with literally anything I can do from here to help you, I'll do it.

But don't lump me in with you by saying "everyone".

Yeah, this whole unfortunate trend of authoritarian bullshit rearing its head is gratefully only relevant if you're one of the unlucky few in the U.S., China, India, Canada, the U.K., Australia, Germany, Italy, Greece, Ukraine, Russia, Sudan, Syria, Afghanistan, Belarus, the UAE, and like one or two others, admittedly. Sucks to be those guys.

China, Russia, Syria, Belarus aren't seeing any increased authoritarianism. It is the same for decades
