    So USA’s identity stems from 1945 years ago after a world war, and not the other most recent 80 years of despicable, anti democratic behavior?

    I fail to see how that’s not completely delusional.

      Which supporting freedom democracy did we support?

      You just wrote in past tense, giving me the freedom to use the most obvious example that you are wrong.

      Believing the USA was ever a “freedom democracy” supporter is pure delusion.

      Here you even use EVER, further legitimizing my point.
      You are moving the goal post, and absolutely USA has been helping democracies like for instance South Korea and Taiwan a lot, even Japan could be included in that list. And the formation of NATO to protect democracies against Soviet Union and now Russia is also an example.
      Trump is not a NATO supporter, he is on the contrary trying to destroy it. And NATO is absolutely created with the main objective to defend democracies on both sides of the Atlantic.
