If you think USA is becoming a 3rd world country because of shit like this, you obviously don't know what 3rd world/underdeveloped means.
We're already a banana republic in all but name.
Run by corporations and a small cadre of "elites".
Profits are privatized while risks/costs are placed on the backs of the public.
The wealthy enjoy subsidies, protections, and bailouts while everyone else gets austerity.
We can't even provide basic services like health care to all citizens but we can spend endlessly on wars and imperialism.
Our government ignores the will of the people to serve oligarchs and the military industrial complex.
We have 5% of the world's population but 25% of the planet's prisoners.
Our police departments are militarized and largely unaccountable.
...
We're not a nation by most definitions; we're just a weapons manufacturer/dealer that has a seat in the U.N.
'Murica is this timeline's supervillain and being mad about it won't change that fact.
