America, even in the out of control Great Depression has always idealized democracy. We may not have gotten to a true democracy but we tried over and over again.
What has stopped us from achieving a strong unassailable democracy? A handful of filthy-rich elite capitalists. They gain their wealth through inheritance mostly, or through special privileges given to only certain classes of people. Then they pull up the latter, sit on their fat wrinkled butts and let their money make more money. They add manipulation by spewing propaganda from every oriface they can buy up and ensure the brainwashing of millions.
They don't need to brainwash every one, just enough people in the right locations to guarantee the death of democracy. This is how out of control capitalism always crushes democracy.
This is what happened in WWII, when Germany was attempting to transition out of feudalism. The filthy-rich who sit around doing nothing but pocketing our national wealth, need you to be focused on something else so they can rob you blind.
It is UnAmerican if you envision a democratic nation.
Pedo Trump and his goons are fascist Nazis and don't want democracy.
