    Despite everything, this remains a state created by Enlightenment liberals, extremely decentralized, with a powerful independent judiciary and literally the strongest speech protections in the world.

    Obviously the direction of travel is wrong, but let’s keep some perspective.

    PS: disappointing to see such a display of irrational groupthink in this community, I had hoped for better. Perhaps the instance was a clue.

          Powerful independent judiciary

          Have you read the news recently?

          Enlightened liberals

          Have you seen the current administration, or half the politicians?

          literally the strongest speech protections in the world.

          Like getting deported or denied at the border because you criticized the dear leader online?
