As long as it’s other people who are made homeless, locked up, and killed by your government, that’s a price worth paying, eh?

I’m well aware that Americans are just regular people and are going to have all the same regular-person failings that allow authoritarians to take over as well. But Americans have spent generations bragging triumphantly about how different and better they were and how it couldn’t happen there, so I don’t think I’ll be letting that slide quite yet.
