It had to happen someday. I hope we can weather this and come back stronger in a few years.

Am I taking crazy pills or does the first panel does not reflect reality whatsoever? In my experience, Americans (the citizenry) regularly, openly, and loudly criticize and/or mock dictators and oppressive regimes, the federal government historically does not allow for normal business or trade to occur with them, and in several cases in recent history (for better or worse) the military physically intervenes.
I think a small percentage of Americans notice dictatorships but most have historically ignored world events. Usually, other country's problems are more than most Americans can think about.
My point here, was now we have those problems ourselves and a lot of people are freaking out 'cause this is the worst we've had to deal with in a long time.
Yeah world events in American media aside from massive shifts don't get talked about here. Instead it's constant divisive bullshit.
I really like the yt channel Warfronts, been watching for a few months and it's amazing how much world news I was missing before just in war related situations.
