You just gotta scroll up a bit. Nicaragua and Guatemala were in the 80s, absolutely the stuff of nightmares ten times worse than what Trump is doing. We almost certainly sponsored an attempted coup against Hugo Chavez in the early 2000s, and a successful one in Honduras under Obama.

You're not wrong that Trump is a horrifying new chapter. It is testament to the semblance of humanity that the US State Department slowly developed post-2000 that, yes, Trump is a return to a much more barbaric and brazen time of US foreign policy, with worse surely on the horizon. But we never really stopped being the bad guys, we just got a little more subtle and less overtly violent about it, until now.

We still rigged plenty of elections don't worry
