You know the vast majority of south and central americas are democracies too, right?

Also a not-insignificant amount of Asia, Africa, and Pacific islands.

South America just isn’t really too involved in international politics in general, the whole region is neutral in almost all conflicts since very few directly affect them

They are involved in their own politics, just like the first world only cares about what happens to the first world.

No, but they are directly tied to the US.

I said this about Assad as well, but when someone is a forever ruler, it may not be as democratic as the name implies

Of course. I am not going to defend the particular choice of countries in that picture. Where is South Korea, for example? However. Democracy is greater than just democratic election. Fascists in Germany also come to power in a free democratic election, does not make Nazi Germany a democratic country.
