I don't believe they are actively setting out to worsen the lives of 50% of the country, as Trump has admitted to wanting to do to his opponents. I don't think they're trying to get people killed by demonising vaccines. I would take a communist dictatorship over a fascist dictatorship any day if I have to choose a dictatorship. And sadly, there are no democratic world powers right now, except for maybe the EU, but they have a lot of their own issues. I don't think China, Russia, or America are good countries, but of the three right now, China is the lesser evil. It is sad that I have to say that, but that's how much America has already degraded under Trump. --- ~Hivebent4Life 3DS FC: 5069-3910-2647 <cite>hivebent4life posted [p:986565623] in Does the U...
