That the USA doesn’t do undemocratic things is a bit of primary-school brainwashing if you look our international policy, interventionism, and decidedly undemocratic laws that have been created and enforced in this country since its very inception. (Voting rights, regulations, asset forfeiture, racist zoning laws, etc)

The US has surely done undemocratic things, that’s not my point. I never remember hearing the justification that “they are just as bad.”
