    This is my favorite tankie cope.

    “The CIA obviously staged the protests and rigged the election against the communists!”

    So like, they snuck in millions of undercover agents?

    “Don’t be ridiculous, that’s not how it works!”

    So they stuffed the ballot box?

    “No, that’s what we tried to do.”

    You mean they forced people to vote at gunpoint?

    “NO IT WAS THE PROPAGANDA.”

    So the CIA just… Convinced people to support Western politics?

    “IT’S NOT FAIR! HOW CAN WE WIN IF PEOPLE HAVE AGENCY!”
