The funniest thing about the whole Hong Kong democracy movement going all in on Trump is the specious rationalizations and excuses made for them by their Western liberal enablers who are anti-Trump. It was clear from the outset that the impetus of the entire movement was
primarily a rightist movement driven by a type of hyper-local chauvinism run amuck that was being fueled by American agitators for principally geo-political purposes but that couldn't possibly be true, because look at all these Western media assets regurgitating their agitprop.
Yet by going all in on the most retarded and brain dead Trump nonsense, it's become crystal clear that the same impulses beats at the heart of both movements and it has never been about any so-called values, but rather a more primal feeling that their world is under threat by
outside forces beyond their respective communities and that they are powerless to oppose it, which is actually mostly correct. Their elites are either compromised or uninterested in solving their problems so it devolves as @akarlin88 noted into a modern digital jacquerie with all
of the stupid lumpen-proletariat nonsense that such movements naturally spin out without any capable leadership.
