You don't get to ignore due process just because crimes are alleged. That's the whole fucking point of due process - to ascertain exactly what has happened and not just take some thug's word for it when they want to boost their arrest numbers.
USA? I don't see what this has to do with authoritarianism.
And if you look at the facts of what America is doing in the world, how many wars it has started and how many wars it supports in the last 50 years, and how many MILLIONS of INNOCENT people it has KILLED, RAPED and STARVED TO DEATH, then in comparison to this, sending a few people to El Salvador is non-existing problem, and big luck for this people, because they were dealing with USA and got away practically untouched. Gulag in El Salvador? Practically a weekend trip compared to what USA did to MILLIONS of non-usa-citizen around the globe.
There’s a spectrum of authoritarianism. Not all instantiations involve mass murder or other forms of mass suffering.
Your argument boils down to: others have it worse therefore you have no right to complain.
Consider that if we don’t stand up now and complain now that the foundation will be set for the infliction of mass suffering. Your reasoning is quite bad.
By similizing the American electoral system to those in authoritarian countries, you trivialize the suffering of people oppressed and often physically exterminated by authoritarian regimes around the world. Millions? Seriously? Try talking to any refugee from an authoritarian country about this. Just please be as polite as possible and choose a smaller person, I'm afraid that because of your extremely offensive position towards their suffering, they may try to cause you physical harm.
>There is no oppressed majority in the U.S.
Of course not, the US seems to be a fairly authoritarian-free country. It's just that if we assume that the US has these tendencies and try to be fair with the terms, it is quite obvious from whom they come, and against which majority the attempts at oppression are directed.
