Some of the least encouraging words you can hear are "The US is here to liberate you."

You have a choice between Dictator X or their Brother.

There's nothing accurate about this map either because democracy has a class character. All the blue countries are dictatorships of capital. And there's no decline of democracy happening in the US, it's always been an oligarchy. Empirical research of decades of US policy shows this clearly:

What do our findings say about democracy in America? They certainly constitute troubling news for advocates of “populistic” democracy, who want governments to respond primarily or exclusively to the policy preferences of their citizens. In the United States, our findings indicate, the majority does not rule—at least not in the causal sense of actually determining policy outcomes. When a majority of citizens disagrees with economic elites or with organized interests, they generally lose. Moreover, because of the strong status quo bias built into the U.S. political system, even when fairly large majorities of Americans favor policy change, they generally do not get it.

What's declining the period of liberal pretenses as the US transitions into open fascism.
