So they mention that it is at it’s “lowest point” since they started tracking it in 2006. I think it is pretty clear that this just measures how compliant or subservient to the US a nation is. Surely even the libbest of libs would notice how dumb it is that Russia dropped almost a whole point in a year, despite no actual changes to their government and therefore their democracy.
I assume if you asked them they’d say that it’s a result of the government response to anti-war protests. US state repression and police brutality doesn’t have the same effect of course.
