"I'd wake up every morning, and the leader would say something $^#, and then that would become law that evening. That's why I left {country name here} for the U.S., but now I'm waking up everyday to the same thing."

I was there once too, it's really amazing to see it!

This was beautifully written, moving, and brave. Thank you for sharing this with all of us.
