'Pro-Democracy' activists show their true colors

‘Trump Is Better’: In Asia, Pro-Democracy Forces Worry About Biden
Quote:

A dissident once branded Enemy No. 1 by the Chinese Communist Party is spreading conspiracy theories about the American presidential election.

Pro-democracy campaigners from Hong Kong are championing President Trump’s claims of an electoral victory.

It might seem counterintuitive that Asian defenders of democracy are among the most ardent supporters of Mr. Trump, who has declared his friendship with Xi Jinping of China and Kim Jong-un of North Korea. But it is precisely Mr. Trump’s willingness to flout diplomatic protocol, abandon international accords and keep his opponents off-balance that have earned him plaudits as a leader strong enough to stand up to dictators and defend democratic ideals...

But others within the community, particularly in Hong Kong and China, said that backing Mr. Trump was hypocritical at best and dangerous at worst...

“These guys are utilitarian, and they believe that if Trump is waging war against the C.C.P. then he’s right for them,” Mr. Badiucao said. “That mentality fits the whole ‘America First’ ideology, where it’s OK for other people to suffer if your goal is met, and their goal is overthrowing the C.C.P.”
Next time you see these 'pro-democracy' agitators making trouble in Asia, remember that they would be quite willing to throw our democracy under the bus to achieve their goals.
