I'm gonna go with both
It's not a fantasy. They are living it.
The US is not a weak country, its not poor in terms of capital or resources, it is not small or isolated, and it is not incapable of innovation. Far from it, it's number two in most of these areas, number 1 at least in terms of capital. It is also a deeply unequal country that is unable to face down even one of its contradictions.
Latin America is a truly awesome place if you're already rich. And so is the USA.
As I used to say as a teenage succdem. “But hey, we sure know how to treat a billionaire.”
