So funny he says this as if it wasn't always that way. I can't tell if these people know the history of this country and are lying through their teeth or if they are genuinely just ignorant

Hey I mean I fully agree with the sentiment you present and I run a space called USAuthoritarianism about it :/

3rd option could be he realized most people bought the propaganda and he'd convince more people if he indicated it changed along the way. "We were a democracy but now we're not" is a shorter bridge to walk than "everything you've learned about the US isn't correct"
