Redditors are of course salivating over it https://www.reddit.com/r/europe/comments/1h412ri/this_pic_from_the_protests_in_georgia_goes_so_hard/

How do you think about trans people? Do you agree with your newly elected government's stance on lgbt issues?
i'm not a transphobe and i support the existence of trans people and that they have full rights.
i don't know what you mean by "newly elected", this government has been in power for a while. anyways, i disagree with their very regressive stance on LGBT issues, but i don't think a different government will reverse course on this. i support this government for now because they're taking a somewhat anti-imperialist stance, something Georgia hasn't seen in decades.
Thanks for the answer
Even American leftists are more principled than that.
our conditions are different from the conditions in America. in America, both bourgeois parties are on the same side and the same platform. in Georgia, the two sides are the national bourgeoisie, whose interests align with anti imperialism, and the comprador bourgeoisie, whose interests align with the west and who are now staging these protests. it is within the interest of our cause that the national bourgeoisie advance their cause as it is anti-imperialist, and therefore I critically support them. this is not too dissimilar to the critical support for Russia. it is quite dogmatic of you to assume that the conditions everywhere are the same as the United States, and therefore, communists globally must take the same approach everywhere. you have the wrong stance and the wrong approach.
Well since the US and Russia both follow the exact same ideology, you choose to support the neoliberal bourgeoisie over the other neoliberal bourgeoisie, the one that's openly homo- and transphobic and totalitarian in a sense that even the apparent liberties that one adorns themselves with are abolished. Great critical support and very right stance my dude
this is a really basic questsion, but what do you think of this protest?
it is so very clearly a western-backed attempt at counterrevolution. no other way to put it. the west used their NGOs and people with influence that they installed to organize these protests and to coerce university students to go to the protests.
Is it really the consensus that the election was cheated? What do you think?
it's just the opposition being salty. even "international observers" cannot claim that the election was stolen. the opposition can't cope with the fact that their base of support is just a loud minority in the country and that in reality they're very small.

if you want to get the best info about the elections, i'd recommend giving this thread a read. actually, if you want to stay up to date on Georgia from an anti-imperialist, socialist source, give Sopo Japaridze a follow.
Well we haven't been able to prove that Snowball sabotaged the windmill project, but
