"Don't worry the ethno-nationalist authoritarian adversarial state will save us"

It's always adorable the way those who have decided that since the US government is their "enemy" due to ideological disputes (Obvi more common than ever these days), that the most "Anti-American" foreign governments such as Iran, China, Russia[1], Venezuela, etc. are to be outright rooted for.

If Xi Jinping had a button that when pressed, would throw the US into a bloody yearslong civil war, killing tens of millions, he wouldn't hesitate to press it as long as it significantly advanced Chinese economic and strategic interests.

In the set of all governments worldwide, the most anti-American ones are actually the least shy about how highly they value their own national interests over foreigners' (such as our) wellbeing.

[1] I know, that type of American partisan still isn't sure where to place Russia, since they obviously do hate America which is 'good', but also maybe tried to aid Trump which is bad.
