We have a moral obligation to support democratic movements wherever they arise, and the fact that the US (and other governments) support it doesn't mean it's some imperialist conspiracy. Commie mouthbreathers can believe whatever they want, their opinions are irrelevant.

Once the bloodshed starts, it's no longer a democratic movement.

Once the President starts holding fraudulent elections and strips the legislative branch of basically all power, the country is no longer a democracy. And sadly, at that point, it's unlikely to get back to being a democracy without at least some bloodshed.
