…..Here in the United States, we are in the midst of a similar struggle, where those on the Left share Beijing's desire for totalitarian control. As is so clearly laid out in the Democrats' proposed Green New Deal, the Left desires government to be empowered to dictate almost all aspects of life in America, including but not limited to medical care, energy usage, food consumption, housing, taxes, and so on. Unfortunately, many Americans haven't got the street smarts to see where the Left wants to take them. They haven't been educated in American history, government, or economics, but instead have been taught by the public schools and popular culture to regard America as the world's greatest villain. Our schools are designed to convert our children into leftist acolytes who believe that America is racist, capitalism is racist, Republicans are racist, and so on. Literally, from kindergarten on up, the message stays the same: things are so bad in America that fundamental change is the only possible solution. Our youths are told every day that the best thing America can do now is to atone for our past sins by peacefully transferring our freedoms, our guns, and our wealth to our betters in Washington so they can somehow make everything better.
China is pursuing the same goal that the American Left pursues: full governmental control of all citizens. China will soon be rolling out its social credit score, which will be used to reward compliance and punish non-compliance with government dictates. H.K. sees its future with the social credit score, realizing that now is the moment to stand up, say no, and resist the oncoming totalitarian wave.

The youth of Hong Kong want nothing less than the end of Chinese Communist Oligarchy with all its attendant restrictions on personal freedom.
The youth of the US Democrat party want to trade places with their Hong Kong counterparts. They want a green new deal in which government has absolute authority over every detail of personal life.
In truth total government control was virtually achieved under Obama. There was not one area of life unfettered by government edict. Under Trump half of the onerous restrictions on personal life are gone. The rest are on the chopping block as we speak.
Trump is the hero of the Hong Kong youth. He is doing nothing less than bringing down the most brutal government on earth. The youth of Hong Kong see it and believe. The Bernie and AOC youth are not, in fact, woke to the global freedom revolution lit on fire by President Trump.
Our Silicon Valley has us riiiiight behind all this.
