When I was a kid growing up behind the Iron Curtain, I remember when people used to laugh at senile Brezhnev and the geriatric Supreme Soviet in the early 1980s. Now this is America.
So much of modern America is all of the things I was told as a kid made the Soviet Union a worse country than ours. Empty store shelves, specialists being booked out for years (one of Reagan's favorite jokes!), surveillance, government corruption/meddling in domestic affairs, faithless elections…
I lived in China for several years in the 2010s and got told how awful and unfree everything there is (surveillance, puppet gov, pollution, no regulations) . Weird to have the US doing it's best to emulate all those same things.

The left had Feinstein and the right has McConnell. Senate shouldn't be a nursing home.
