Again, a few hundred disillusioned citizens that rushed the capitol shouldn’t be used as ammunition for “America is anti-democratic”. Just like four years of whining, rioting, endless hearings, and accusations from the other side IMO shouldn’t paint America as an anti-democratic nation.
Judging an entirety based on extremists/rads is so adorably left wing.
To be fair, they're not entirely wrong. Trump and his coup attempt was absolutely not democratic.
Now, the thing is, before Trump and the alt-right... There was RT's "news stories" against liberals and SJWs and Chinese apologism, not to mention that whole debacle with Trump and the Russian interference in the elections.
Trump and his ilk are pretty bad... But they're direct cousins of Putin and Xi Jingping.
