The overwhelming victory by Evo Morales’ party in the Bolivia election highlights a key propagandistic scam: when westerners like @SecPompeo & @Yascha_Mounk want to undemocratically change the governments of other nations though coups, they lie & say they’re supporting democracy.

That the US-approved removal of Morales by force could be described with only one word — “coup” — was undebatable because Morales indisputably got more votes, just like his party again did yesterday. If you said this wasn’t a coup, it’s because you don’t believe in democracy.

This is so true about the subtle propagndistic ways US news outlets talk about democracies in the Global South versus western countries: https://twitter.com/adamjohnsonnyc/status/1318072551835422720

The Pompeo-applauded Bolivian coup — also supported by standard anti-democratic voices like Marco Rubio, the Economist, etc. — didn’t just come close to destroying one of the most vibrant and successful democracies in Latin America, but also empowered a murderous coup regime: https://twitter.com/ovargas52/status/1318057172308283392
