Unfortunately there's a reinforcing effect...sure, Belarus's never been a bastion of democratic rule, but the same puke funnel bullshit (stolen elections, fake news, etc.)...
Used to be the US of A was, if not exactly clean, at least not part of the problem.
But that was before, oh, I don't know, the childcare witch trials of the 1980s, letting Reagan off the hook for Iran contra (so much for any GOP assholes 'learning a lesson'), Vince Foster, Whitewater, a bullshit impeachment, a stolen election, WMD, The Kenyan Usurper...her emails...
At long last there's a tiny bit of pushback over lunatic allegations of a stolen election and a bit less over the equally sinister voter fraud nonsense, particularly in light of the January 6th tourist visit (kind of like the British tourist visit in August 1814), but...if it's not too little too late, I'll be pleasantly surprised.
And it's a global movement.
