What we export now, is authoritarianism.

“Yoon's side pointed to the U.S. court ruling in July last year that said Trump cannot be prosecuted for actions that were within his constitutional powers as president.”

It is interesting a lot of Western courts used to cite SCOTUS a lot in last 20 years or so far less.

He's gonna ask for a pardon too, isn't he?

Is that what "American Exceptionalism" means now?

bento-bongos.bsky.social•65 days ago

Always has been.

We’ve been exporting that for a while…chickens coming home to roost

and stupidity…and it has the added advantage of low manufacturing costs and a hungry market (both metaphorical and increasingly, literal).

Following right after Trump‼️Putin started the Destruction of OUR DEMOCRACY. Now we are BECOMING THE CORRUPTED AUTHORITARIAN EXAMPLE.

The revenge of the U.S.S.R.

Exporting MAGA.
Thank you SCOTUS.

Pretty sure South Korea is a different country. They seem to be more serious about prosecuting their rebellious President.

Laws made by men for men

herrnethar6.bsky.social•65 days ago

Dude, I have to break it to you but you've been mainly exporting that for over a century now

misstrixie.bsky.social•65 days ago

Same as it ever was

Well done, America. Well done.

Forever shame on the voters who drug us backwards even further … now into the quicksand of kleptocratic autocracy! 🤬

plosivematerial.bsky.social•65 days ago

America has been propping up dictatorships in South Korea for decades and Yoon was buddies with Biden. Amazingly ignorant take

Could we import some French revolting?

...shove him in a cell with Johnny Somali.

momus.bsky.social•65 days ago

fortunately for Korea, that argument is unlikely to stick because they have ample precedent of holding presidents accountable. hoping against reason that this may become an even bigger cultural export than their boy bands

benkenobisbeard.bsky.social•65 days ago

Any day now we're going to start hearing legal arguments citing precedents from Kreplakistan and Zamunda.

andlackthereof.bsky.social•65 days ago

I'd argue we never exported democracy.

billyzap.bsky.social•65 days ago

That corrupt shit is only valid in America. Not going to fly

rewhan.bsky.social•65 days ago

I mean America's been exporting that for a while in my opinion
