"domestic"? That could be anywhere, what do you mean?

I am in the US but I think the statement applies for >70% of the earth. China, Europe, the UK (big time), India, etc. Maybe not so bad in like, Japan -_(--)_-

Can you expand on that? I'm from a developing country and we're very worried about what's going on in America. Is the situation really as bad as Iran?

No. It's nowhere near Iran, but it's bad by typical US standards.

Our situation has disturbing echoes, but thankfully thousands of protesters haven't yet been murdered here.

The death toll, especially of non-citizens, is piling up however.
