Why even pretend to be free countries anymore? This is worse than most dictatorships at this point

It's been gone since at least the 90s. I've been gone myself since the 2000s, and the tepidness of spirit of my fellow countrymen was no small part of it. That decade felt like being on the Titanic before most passengers realised it was torn open. 9/11 was the iceberg impact, yet society kept floating on an even keel while the bulkheads got progressively flooded; Iraq war confirmed Britain as a servant lackey country, then Nu Labour floated all its ideas like 90 day detention, ID cards, criminalising anti-islamic speech, etc. and received nowhere near the necessary level of resistance from the passive public. After that, arrests for tweets and staring were always waiting on the sea floor for us.
As the US goes, so goes the rest of the West, into the shitter.
I like to think that we're not quite dead yet here in the land of fat-ass Karens and subverted, hollowed-out institutions, as there are robust moves being made by the alternate press to reveal what our "leaders" are and have been doing, and we have a gigantic population between the coasts on which rests our political future. Really, it may be that the power of the left is an illusion. Can such a minority control the nation indefinitely?
We're on the ropes in the late rounds.
God Save the Republic!
