Comment on Is it a common thing for people who have left authoritarian countries to still feel the fear of their now-former country?

In some ways yeah. My country pivoted from semi dictatorship to dictatorship to democracy to democracy and finally back to dictatorship. I was born under a dictatorship and for the first 21 years of my life, there was only one president.

I just emigrated to the US so it’s crazy seeing the same stuff I run from all over again. My countries president is aligned with the current US right wing policies, so yeah, though minute, I’m a legit target, so I do not talk about my countries politics or government.
