We have never been "united" against autocracies. There's no such point in history.

On the contrary, we've cheerfully supported autocracies, as long as they mostly play ball with our commercial and political priorities.

That's not to excuse the US's current batshit Iran policy, in which we've managed to successfully isolate ourselves diplomatically and gained more or less nothing in exchange.
