    "As an American, it’s no wonder our citizens are distrustful of CPC. In addition to a lifetime of propaganda, we have never experienced a government with citizens’ interest in mind

    Nearly everyone, if not every single person, in America that will read this has never seen our government and politicians do ANYTHING that would advance the lives of its citizens, no matter how small the action might be. When/if anything slightly beneficial is done, cynical ulterior motives are the reason. Advancement of ruling class interests are the overwhelming reason we get anything, i.e. paltry checks during the covid pandemic.

    We have never known otherwise. When Americans see the Chinese government implement policies that increase the wellbeing of the population, their minds automatically assume it’s for nefarious reasons. The thought of a government ensuring their citizens are safe, taken care of and prosperous is unheard of.

    No matter the party affiliation, or if they’re avowed communists all the way to the far right base of Republican neo-fascists, everyone knows politicians that make up the government are A.) beholden to capital and B.) out for themselves.

    Congress is laughably unpopular, if not right out loathed by all of us. When decades of racist propaganda, fabrication and malicious lies are added to the mix, no one can possibly fathom leadership being altruistic."
