It's... also not particularly novel for Americans who DO follow this sort of thing to be happy when autocrats in other countries are defeated? I'm just barely old enough to recall the ouster of Pinochet being broadly celebrated in international coverage as a victory for human rights & democracy.

I guess the charitable gloss on this is that one should probably be circumspect about whether you really know the best outcome in a country whose politics you're only familiar with cursorily and at a distance? Which fair enough. But there are cases where the less-bad alternative is pretty clear.
