Ironic comment. El Salvador’s president has extremely high approval ratings and was definitely elected democratically. The US hasn’t ousted a democratically elected government since the end of the Cold War (as far as I know).
- whatwhaaaaat 10mo agoUh what? I’m all about American hegemony but let’s not stupid. Mossadegh Arbenz Allende Goulart Lumunba And Maduro was elected as well though you can go on with it being corrupt if you want. These are just the ones we directly overthrew who were elected. There are 20 more or so we’ve done so indirectly.
- seizethecheese 10mo agoYou missed the part of my comment that said “since the Cold War”. All of your examples are during the Cold War, of course. (Other than Maduro, and I don’t think most people believe he was democratically elected.)
- whatwhaaaaat 10mo agoUh you had ww2 there first no?
- seizethecheese 10mo agoNope, you can confirm you misread
- rixed 10mo agoCould it be because democratically elected governments are becoming a thing of the past?
