Pointman went from this in 7 months
At what point does the US hit the "I need to get out of here" dictator threshold? The US is now getting to the 'home-grown' concentration camp stage.

I'd argue Pointman was just delusional about the true state of his country before then.If you click back on his first quote it was a response to me questioning if he knew he lived in a dictatorship that he was claiming was mostly democratic(which, I mean, come on) and then says it's more of a monarchy.
But you are correct to compare the two, because I suspect most Americans also don't recognize that they no longer live in a democracy that follows the rule of law. I'm just not sure a good half of them will ever realize it, just as Pointman claimed Russia was a democracy years after Putin had clearly made it not one.
