If someone believes that USA was "blessed with stable government", then ofc they believe that some daddy is going to save them. These delusions are closely related.

Barring civil religion, the USA has had a relatively stable government during its history.
The country is on its second basic law since its founding, with the current basic law being in force for over 200 years.
There has been only one civil war and that war is long outside the memory of living Americans.
There was a recent national coup attempt in 2020, but the transition of power that the coup was trying to prevent still occurred.
National borders haven't been seriously threatened in the lifetime of its citizens, with the last loss of territory of the Philippines being carried out as a planned internal political matter.
You'd be hard pressed to find another country with that record.
