Isn't that my point? The Maidan protesters weren't elected. The President they toppled was. Our support for the protesters had an anti-democratic aspect that the foreign policy establishment learned to gloss over.

Maidan protesters objecting to "corruption" are good - their anger is evidence that the government must be dissolved. People chanting "lock her up" at Trump rallies are bad - their attitudes are evidence that the government must elect a new people.
