This is an actual thought experiment by John Rawls: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Original_position

I like to take it one step further.

Which country would you choose if you had to be poor?

I’d probably choose Cuba.

Wouldn’t the question better be “would you be happy with the freedoms of a random person” otherwise you’re including all kinds of other factors?

As a random US citizen, chances are high though that you voted Trump and are ok with all this nonsense. So, should be ok?

Fortunately for everyone, even some of the people who voted for trump are having second thoughts now they are living it.

Only a few. American Republican voters consistently show a pattern of not regretting their vote because bad things happen to other people, but only because bad things happen to themselves.
