It has always been true. It why "regime change" has always been a bad idea. When we start stirring shit up, what emerges is very seldom anything resembling democracy. It almost always ends up in autocracy in some form.

Now, the shit is being stirred up in our own house, and we are staring at an autocratic Trump Dynasty.

If you're not scared, you've got your head buried in the sand.

After watching how they are doing. Promoting Putin propaganda as the truth to accuse Biden has backfired , and badly on them, and does nothing but bring to attention to promote that for Putin shows they are complicit with trump and Putin, and are compromised by trump and Putin too. The attacks on the truth openly by promoting propaganda knowing its false shows intent to corrupt the elections , and our government for Putin and trump to then dictate what the truth is, and only them.
