Welcome to Third World, United States

[Hutzpa]

Where elections are being rigged and stolen,

Politicians are being bought by corporations,

No Health Care for its citizens,

Rights of workers are being abolished and ignored,

The top 1% have more say/power than the rest of the population.

I could go on.

of superiority has brought the demise of the United States, plain and simple.

[YellowRubberDuckie]
