But if it's happening here now it's a big deal? Boo hoo.

Tell that to Chile and Portugal and Guatemala and Nicaragua and El Salvador and Argentina. Oh and Iran.

Im being somewhat facetious but I still think that we have spent so much time and money supporting rightwing dictatorships, and death squads, that was bound to happen to us eventually.
