Much like in Egypt (bye bye to the Muslim Brotherhood aligned democratically elected PM) the army in Pakistan get a lot of US $$$ "assistance".

Egyptian here, hello.
Some pretty big quotes should surround "democratically". Also, the Muslim Brotherhood attempted to enact constitutional Sharia Law, something unfavorable even amongst the Muslim-majority populace. If we're going to cherry-pick Egypt as an example here, would be nice to provide the whole picture of what went down (which this comment certainly isn't).

It is not true that Morsi's government tried to enact Sharia law. Egyptian liberal's overblown fear of Islam resulted in something far worse, a military dictatorship for another 30 years. Morsi was a moderate and was not going to impose sharia. Sisi is an extremist dictator who has jailed thousands of journalists and political rivals.

He was elected by mostly the poor and lower class - his agenda and political leanings was well known - the middle class and elites did not shed a tear when the army stepped in again.

Not true but the judiciary did dissolve the democratically elected parliament. Who was more legitimate? Answer: the parliament

It's not an uncommon thing for a justifiable uprising to end up in a place worse than before. It doesn't necessarily mean that it was instigated from the outside for that or some other purpose.

Not liking the results of democracy is not a justifiable uprising.

What human rights did Morsi crack down on? I could list a dozen human rights that Sisi has cracked down on.
