we're holding them at bay better than a lot of places at least.

America is the land of the free. Yeah, keep telling yourself that.

Regardless of whether Kang or Kodos is in power, the US literally is ruled for the benefit of megacorps and the banks. Your country is a literal police state with more police agencies, and a larger number of people in prison, than any other country. The NSA literally records every phone call you make, every email you send, every fax you send (back when people sent faxes). The FBI spies on anyone and everyone, and entraps people into criminal activity, and the courts go along with it. The regulatory agencies are owned by the corporations they're supposed to be regulating. Big companies making billions in profits get given free money by the wheelbarrow full while small mom-and-pop businesses drown under regulations. You have the worst, and most expensive, medical care in the developed world. There is no transparency in how your elections are run, both parties are dirty as fuck. Both parties spend so much money on the military that sometimes even the generals say that they don't know what to do with the money. You have virtually no industry except Wall Street.

You live in a fascist state where every four years you get to vote for a figurehead, but nothing important changes. Whoever wins, Kang or Kodos, they will distract you with stupid culture wars over trivialities like pronouns, abortion, "the War On Christmas" and other bullshit while they rule for the sole benefit of the elite 0.1%.

Look at the lockdowns for instance.

Sweden says hello.
