Why would the West do this

This is the sort of thing that could happen in places like Texas and Arkansas, South Carolina and Alabama. maga nation.
It is impossible for this to happen in places like California or New York.
If you are LGBT in a red state or a swing state, and say that both parties are the same, you are an idiot. If you neglect to vote for Democrats in November, you are stabbing yourself - and all the LGBT community - in the back.
- this is about beijing, China, not beijing, Alabama
  
  And I guarantee the government of Alabama has less contact with the CCP than does the government of California.
  
  doubtful on that one. California has many more domestic industries.
  
  Doubtful eh? Want to bet $20 on it?
  
  I mean based on the walmarts per capita (walmart being a major importer of chinese goods as a business strategy) alabama has about 4x.
  This means just on like a social level they're going to be devoting more resources to communicating with china and be more dependent on them so I would kinda expect alabama to be devoting slightly more communication with the ccp on average.
  Realistically also Cali shares a border with mexico and probably, like texas, devote more resources per capita talking to people across that border than Alabama does.
  
  I love random, unhinged California hate-posts.
  
  There is nothing “random” about responding to a comment about Alabama and California, by talking about Alabama and California.
- Replace could with is.
- When the US oppresses its people and others its just being silly. When China does similar things, they are the scourge of the earth commies authoritarians trying to kill everyone.
  Most Americans don't see the hypocrisy. Sad state.
  
  People in America have the freedom to take to the streets, which we have done many times, and the freedom to stage protests and boycots, which we have done many times, and the freedom demand things be better. The results and successes of these actions is always up for debate, but we've made great progress in the last century and have far, far surpassed much of the world in terms of liberties and rights.
  It's really hard to see out of the opaque paper-bag we live in here, but the USA is still one of the best deals out there. It's okay to both recognize our successes and privileges while also demanding things be better.
  
  idk if america is "one of the best deals out there" but its certainly better than being in a colony or a "strategic interest" country of the US. At best, the US is a second rate country with a dual legal system based on your net worth but its safe from many of the horrors it creates.
  
  Lol, you're so full of American propaganda.
  
  It's just as easy to fall prey to the negative propaganda, truth is always a lot more complicated and nuanced than your ideological bubble-worlds like to portray. No matter which direction it may be.
  
  What are you on about, they criticize it all the time, they just don't lose social credit over it.
