Well sweetie at least we don't live under an authoritarian regime.
Define authoritarianism? Well it's... Well you see the thing is any definition would also describe our country, so that's wrong... Really it's actually rude of you to ask me to define authoritarianism
One poll I haven't seen is what proportion of Chinese people think they're living in a democracy vs. what proportion of USians. That would be interesting.
Im not sure if Iโve seen that as one poll done by the same group across both countries, but Iโve definitely seen those numbers and it was like 70%+ of Chinese and much lower for the U.S.
Edit: hereโs one, itโs higher than I remembered for China, 83% of respondents to a poll in 2022 said the PRC is a democracy with 91% saying that democracy is important to them.
Chinese people both feel that their country is more democratic and that democracy is more important than USians do
The asterisk next to China is hilarious, liberals just can't accept that China actually cares about it's people
holy shit lmao btfo
im surprised Ukraine is that high
