That's a Helldivers 2 reference, and it doesn't reflect well for your case. I for one, am glad the work of satire exists so we can once and for all have a real talk around how phrases like "Spreading Democracy" can over time completely lose the plot about what the U.S. as a country was about. It isn't about structures of government. It's about Liberty and the preservation thereof against enemies foreign (other countries) and domestic (the Government itself). Whether Democracy or Republic, a government by it's nature is a tool to curtail or preserve some Liberty for some people to the exclusion of others (currently and in the recent past drawn along nation state or polity lines). In the work of art in question, galactically, and cross-species polity, with Managed Democracy having as one of it's tenets be the mandate to, through violence, instate itself as the "One True Governmental System" everywhere it currently isn't, no questions asked; in fact asking such questions is an act of High Treason.

The lesson here being; if you forget the point of keeping your government around (for the U S., preserving Liberties, and asserting the supremacy of those rights over the legitimacy of any act of Government trying to curtail them), and conflate the government with the end itself, you create and perpetuate an inhuman monster capable of manufacturing the conditions for manifesting atrocity on scales that would make the despots of the past blush for how unambitious they ultimately were in comparison. For there is literally no stopping something once you've managed to elide the meaning of our most sacred values across generational boundaries from meaning one thing, to something completely different. As an example, from the work of Art in question: Freedom being taken to mean "you are Free to decide how you support the regime", but not whether you should be supporting the regime at all.

I assure you, if winning takes you in that direction, you're barking entirely up the wrong tree.
