I can't state anything for certain, but not sure how much worse things can get

Then come over here to China and see, because after five years living in Beijing I CAN say quite a lot for certain.
US government lies compared to Chinese government lies are like a summer squall compared to a typhoon. First and most glaring example, the US is not rounding up dissidents en masse, shooting most of them, throwing the few they don't shoot into Orwellian indoctrination centers and consigning them to a level of poverty that would make the poorest American blush, then forcing their children to attend schools that are deliberately designed to make them incapable of anything other than such brutally menial labor that they will be lucky to see their 40th birthday, then digitally blocking any flow of information from outside the country that might clue the populace in to the fact that this is actually not normal.
China is.
Seriously, if America seems that bad in your eyes, passports are cheap and China is desperate for Westerners with business skills of any kind right now. Come on over and see first hand just how much worse it can get.
