Cause the USA cared so much about "democracy" before

Well it was. Not fair and equal, but it was. Now it's plainly only for oligarchs.

You never had democracy. You had "liberal democracy," which is 95% capitalism with 5% fake democracy substitute thrown in as an afterthought.

If billionaire parasites had the power to destroy your "democracy," it means you never had democracy in the first place. Democracy means public power... not "billionaire parasite power."
