Tiananmen Square was a great tragedy. I don’t think there is agreement on how many died, but some say as many as 10,000. The Chinese people protested against their government, and the government struck back, and people died.

Here in America, we gave only a half-hearted attempt at the same thing. On Jan 6 people showed up to protest our loss of democracy. The government struck back and shot Ashli Babbitt. That ended our Tiananmen Square and we continue to be ruled by China, as far as I can see.

Maybe Cuba will be more successful.

I wasn't try to equate Tienanmen Square with January 6th...not at all. There is no comparison...other than both events were motivated by a legitimate anger over denial of basic rights.

As for Cuba...I can't say I'm optimistic. Far too many there depend on the government.

The US is a Republic. Not a democracy.
