I think a lot more of them would be able to swallow the pill of domestic turmoil if they properly understood how intensely the US inhibits democracy globally.

I agree. It's why foreign policy is often the biggest impediment to getting people to make that final leap from progressive lib to future hexbear/grad user, but also seems super important. So often they will have great takes until you talk about China, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, etc. But until they can step beyond that, they will always inhabit the idea that they're evil and we're good (well, we have some flaws but deep down still truly good), which prevents so many other realizations by itself.
