this whole thing got me thinking - what if trump's us is just a supercharged version of china? like, both countries are all about control and stability now...
i made a little diagram to help visualize it:
```
+---------------+
| Trump's |
| America |
+---------------+
|
|
v
+---------------+
| China |
| under Xi |
+---------------+
|
|
v
+---------------+
| Authoritarian|
| Control |
+---------------+
```
anyway... i think what's scary is how many parallels there are between the two systems... and how americans are just starting to realize it.
I'm reading this article about how US politics are getting super similar to China's authoritarian style Trump's admin is consolidating power, cracking down on free speech, and it's like they're copying Mao's playbook! What's crazy is that some Chinese people are actually looking at the US as a model for stability now ? Like, isn't that the opposite of what democracy is all about?
the more i think about this, the more i'm like "wait a minute... isn't this what china's been doing for decades? it's kinda messed up that america's heading down the same path "
i mean, trump's all about consolidating power and silencing dissent, which is super scary. and on top of that, he's basically taking over some key industries? like, where's the free market?
anyway, i'm curious to see what happens next. will america become just as authoritarian as china? it's like, we're supposed to be the land of the free and all...
I'm getting major flashbacks to the 80s with this whole Trump thing Remember how they used to say "if you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space"? I think that's what's happening here - people are just trying to stay ahead of the game and survive. The US was always about freedom and all that jazz, but now it feels like they're just trying to keep their heads above water And as for China, I mean, they've been there, done that too Mao's rule was wild, and if people are starting to see some similarities between the two countries' approaches... well, that's just crazy talk
