In 2019 protests, Hong Kong Protesters say that before getting taken away...

now this is happening in the US...

This is the stuff Americans criticize CCP for... America is now becoming the very thing it said it would destroy.

America is now becoming the very thing it said it would destroy

America never swore to destroy repression, it's been the core of evil in the world for the past 80 years.

becoming? America was always the devil I dont understand how people dont see that

Call America what you want, that's your right, but there is a clear distinction between what happens before when you have an anti-obama meme or anti-biden meme, vs now having an anti-trump meme. The degree of authoritarianism is far worse these days than before.

If you view the US as evil before, then you should view the current iteration as evil²

I mean, yeah, you're absolutely right.

You perceive the degree of authoritarianism to be worse because things are starting to happen to some white people. Deportation numbers were highest in dem administration, Obama had the drone papers, and MOVE bombing happened decades ago.
