I agree. That's actually why I'm posting this. The awful slide into fascism of an already reactionary country is very scary to anyone living here. Fascism is unsustainable, and even if Biden pulls it back to the standard neoliberalism of the last 40 years, it won't reverse the decline. The America ship is sinking. This country won't last.

The reason I posted this in the first place is because I've learned a lot about China the past few weeks and have suddenly found myself sincerely saying China Good. And that gives me some real hope that even as things look bleak here, worldwide there is a lot of potential. China can be the course-correcting force for the whole world.
