Maybe from the fact that the bloodless US political class has delivered nothing to ordinary people for decades, and people were ready to grab onto anyone who actually seemed to offer a promise of something different? Maybe from the vast swathes of racism that still suffuse the population, which aren't readily cleansed from a country literally built on white supremacy?

You libs love to use "sure the US is bad too" as a throwaway line, but you clearly don't actually believe it, seeing as you can't even imagine that this country could elect Trump without being induced to do it by Evil Russians.

lmao Russia had nothing at all to do with January 6th buddy, that was all Trump

Those were violent right-wing militias, not peaceful protestors. Did you support the people rebelling against the US government on January 6th? Because that's a genuinely analogous position to supporting the Maidan coup.

I wish you had better comebacks than that, anyway, because that was pathetic. And that you weren't a transphobic shithead, but I try to be realistic.

In 2016, the last year the survey was conducted, 95.5 percent of respondents were either “relatively satisfied” or “highly satisfied” with Beijing.

I wish I knew, but it's hard to get a visa, so I'm stuck in my shithole country (United States).

Your day-to-day life...on the massive globally interconnected computer network shared by everyone worldwide who has the means to connect to it? You didn't expect to see an opinion held by well over 1 billion people on that network, ever?

Hate to break it to you, but even the US state department recognizes that there's no such country as Taiwan. Please call it by its correct name, "Chinese Taipei," so people know what you're talking about.

what-the-hell

You thought no Chinese people supported the One China Policy? Seriously?

[-] Sphere@hexbear.net 34 points 1 year ago

Taiwan? I think you mean Chinese Taipei.

So...you thought sharing a common language precluded having differing opinions? That's kinda astonishing, ngl
