    Trump is trying to turn the US into the 80s China. Repression included. China has come a long way since then.

      Scratching my head at this comment tbh. While I wasn’t really around in the 80s, I can’t imagine the US becoming like “80s China”. Especially not given the fact that the Trump presidency is a confluence of libertarian extremists, evangelical extremists, and foreign autocrats backing an aspiring autocrat with narcissist tendencies. Sure, there will be corruption and repression and suffering, but that’s where the similarities end, … no?
