It's not just that the United States has stopped trying to promote liberal democratic ideas internationally. It's that the United States is actively trying to promote the contrary. It's trying to turn more countries into Hungary.

The kind that runs on local hardware and actually reduces emissions.Not the giant compute farms powering anime girlfriends and auto generated TikTok slop.
