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.

Sorry i don’t have much to add, but if i had to guess, that country is egypt?

No. But I would never ever openly admit my country of origin anywhere.

I see thanks. I assumed so since egypt followed a very similar timeline to you described (even the 21y reign of a murderous dictator lol)
