As an American, it's really weird for me to see right-wing US senators being some of the most vocal defenders of Hong Kong. But it's terrific for Hong Kong that the struggle for democracy has not become part of our polarized political arguments about everything in the US.

The left in my country also has a long history of forming circular firing squads and descenting into infighting and bitter factionalism, even when they initially enjoyed a broad base of support. Two examples are the Women's March and Occupy. They are not good at winning.
