maybe now americans will realize how it feels when someone decides your elected president is "illegitimate" and think twice before supporting such actions in other countries. if this happened in Iran or Belarus the media would cheer it.
another interesting thing is the media censoring of Trump (blocked by social media, news like reuters are always making sure to note that what Trump says is false (e.g. "falsely claimed the election was stolen"). this is exactly what would happen in "third-world countries" but now it happens in America and no one cares about it. sure, it's only Trump being censored now, but it's not a big stretch to start censoring regular people too. it's not a democracy if you can't talk freely.
- theossuary 6y agoThis is a terrible take. Reminding readers that something is a lie is not censorship. And just as democracy couldn't survive real censorship, it also couldn't survive leaders being allowed to lie with impunity. Where we are now is proof of that. I will agree though, Trump has brought the US government down to the level of a third-world country these last four years.
