The US doesn't care if you're autocratic; they've propped up and outright installed plenty of dictators.

You're right, but it's an awfully useful pretense for America to invade you if you're not "democratic"

That's just been completely orthogonal. Autocrats that toe the line get to stay in power; democracies that don't get military coups.

But, I thought that the destroying property and violence doesn’t bring about democratic changes?
Or is that only when the US is tsk tsking about how other countries treats its citizens....

>What do you mean, become autocratic/centralized/...or whatever other word you want to choose. That's a quick one way ticket to getting invaded and thrown out by the US government.
The US government has no problems with autocratic governments, in fact they have propped many in the past. No, if you don't agree with them in economic terms they will invade. And there are plenty of excuses to go around, not that anyone cares anymore really. Iraq was supposed to have chemical weapons and everyone disliked Bush for that, but with Obama the US is at war in multiple countries with no visible excuse.
