I'm very curious about why americans always use examples from China and Russia to describe something shit happening in the USA > Some compared the atmosphere to Maoist China, so great were the chilling effects. i mean, americans have their own history - it's short but it's remarkable https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McCarthyism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McCarthyism In China, when something like this happens, some people shout, "Are we going back to the Cultural Revolution?!" Why Americans don't talk about McCarthyism? "Are we going back to the McCarthyism???" Nobody ever said this
