We don't have an Emperor for life that everyone is brainwashed to suck his balls and jump at everything he says.

 

It'd be nice to be in unison, one side is trying.  The other side... Well, I guess getting transgender bathrooms and open borders is way more important than anything else.    Heyyyyooooo

Trump surrounded himself with sycophants. Even Dr. Fauci doesn't correct him in public when he spreads misinformation, puting the lives of people at risk to avoid embarrassing him.

 

The crucial difference is competence & the willingness to face reality & handle business. PRC govt gave it straight in January that this was gonna be bad & to brace while launching a "people's war" to smash the virus. They turned off their nations economy & told all officials that the health of the people is the top priority. Your leader tried to bluff his way through it & put the stock market above the health & long-term wellbeing of the country. A foolish move because the health of the people IS the long-term wellbeing of the country. This should be obvious to any competent leader.

 

FYI I have similar greivances of my own govt. All of our govts have really cocked this up & are still wasting time. It seems we're incapable of winning this war. I think in our case it may have been a deliberate policy of herd immunity from the start, just quietly.

We can't "win this war" like China has.  Nobody can sensor and brainwash like Xi can, he is mighty and will hide fix all!

On the one hand you talk about brainwashing & on the other you talk about China as if you have any idea about the place, other than what you've been brainwashed to think.

 

It's like a last straw you're grasping at to prop up your superiority complex. "At least we dont get brainwashed" .... so ironic & sad.
