Guardian: US poll chaos boon to enemies of democracy all over the world.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/nov/15/us-poll-chaos-is-a-boon-for-the-enemies-of-democracy-the-whole-world-over

"But the longer the wrangling in Washington continues, the greater the collateral damage to America’s global reputation – and to less fortunate states and peoples who rely on the US and the western allies to fly the flag for democracy and freedom."
snip...

"This is the worst of it. By casting doubt on the election’s legitimacy, Trump nurtures and instructs anti-democratic rogues the world over. The Belarus-style myth he peddles, and will perpetuate, of a strong “man of the people” resisting a conspiracy plotted by corrupt liberal elites, is the final, toxic element of his profoundly poisonous legacy."
