The coup was all about advancing US corporate and imperialist interests. Who woulda guessed?

Don’t worry. We’ve got a long-standing policy of not interfering in South America.

Rich countries: These irresponsible poor countries just borrow and borrow and borrow money they can’t afford to pay and then they expect us to bail them out.
Also rich countries: Let’s install leaders in poor countries who will borrow more from us.
Happens in violent coups, but also when the EU just takes over the finance ministries in countries like Greece.
Wide array of opposition politicians arrested on “terrorism” charges, for great democracy.
This but unironically. You overthrow the government and murder a bunch of people there’s consequences.
Actually, the old government resigned after it fixed an election.
I’m not going to relitigate this issue, but I will lol at you for believing this.
I think her ordering the military to quell protests resulting in dozens of deaths and hundreds of injuries was bad for democracy.
She was no angel, that’s for sure. (I do genuinely agree that she seems to be mostly awful, and it would be great for her to be tried in some sort of fair venue for any actual crimes that can be pinned on her. Politically-motivated prosecutions of opposition leaders are bad though.)
If the stop the steal protestors got the recognition of some foreign states and the military and installed as Trump president while Biden hid in Canada for a year, you think it would be wrong to prosecute Trump afterwards?
It’s not anti-democratic though, it’s anti-republican. The Trumpkins are right that we live in a republic, not a democracy. So the new administration has one questionable arrest. IMO she’s no more important than any other Bolivian.
These aren’t really the same at all. For one, Biden isn’t the incumbent, and for another, he didn’t actually steal the election. To make it comparable, you’d have to imagine Trump being successful flipping states post-election through shadowy illegal skullduggery, then being forced to resign along with Pence by the security services so that Pelosi becomes president. And then she gets arrested as a terrorist by Tom Cotton or somebody after he wins the next election.
