Incredibly disappointed. I had never seen such a concerted effort to hide information in the USA. Is this how it feels to live under the CCP’s control?
This is an overly dramatic comparison that trivializes the Chinese surveillance state.
But I do fear the US is headed that direction. When you seen BLM protestors telling people to raise their fists and kiss their feat and people saying you must denounce racism over and over and over again no matter how many times you may have before. Make to mistake: These are American Struggle Sessions.
We have people in major outlets, publications, tech .. all saying Trump people are universally racist and evil. 60+ million people voted for him. That's the most insane thing I've ever heard.
I knew we were headed this way years ago. I wrote about it:

I never thought it would get this bad. I don't think we'll turn into the CCP, but we are in danger of having dramatic shifts in what Americans consider morally right.
Go read some history. Lincoln shut down hundred of newspapers during the civil war. Or the Red Scare/McCarthyism. The jim crow south for 100 years.

If the "CCP" had any control how come they allow so many posts about "CCP" all over social media?
If russia or china had the level of control people are claiming, they aren't doing a good job exercising that control. Now israel and saudi arabia...
