In a world containing North Korea, Iran, China, and Egypt, I can't imagine how incredibly out if touch and radicalized a person needs to be to truly believe something this absurd.

The US is a powerful country. Which means it has a lot of impact. If that impact also tilts towards the negative spectrum then they will have a large negative impact. Certainly a bigger impact than North Korea, even though North Korea is worse to live under. (Side-note: but America also exports suffering, so it’s not just about US citizens.)
