The difference between democracy and fascism is that the laws are quickly changing due to public opinion in America, but that does not happen in China.
People have been smoking Marijuana since the 60's and it's still a federally illegal drug at the level of heroine. Laws don't change quickly in the US at all.
I never said laws change quickly.
Marijuana use only recently became publicly accepted by the majority of people. As a result, it is now completely legal in many states and will likely soon be legal federally.
This kind of thing would never happen in China.
I am not sure that is a positive trait about the USA.
