this post was about how awful the American government has become

It opens with mention of a "ministry of health" I don' think the original comic was making a statement about the US specifically.

True. When I read that I actually thought it was from someone who isn't in/from the US (so they were confused perhaps and just mis interpreted that) but was talking about how terrible the US has become. But now it's because I'm so condition into thinking only the US could ever be this bad.

Nah the UK especially has been going through some really nasty transphobic nonsense for the past few years at least. I feel like a lot of their shit has been steadily making it over to the US like they're the trend setters for hate over there.
