US friends:
I don't want to hear any of you ever say that African countries have corrupt elections again.
Ever!
You hear me? That's over for y'all now.
And this dude is still the GOP front runner! By a long shot! Like, it's not even close! A lot of y'all are like "This is fine!"
And I don't want to hear "Oh no! We're like a 3rd world country now!" That's that mess I often hear after the US has acted exactly like the US. We're not "like a 3rd world country." We're like ourselves.

The usual term is "Banana Republic."
For conservatives explaining the built-in undemocratic aspects of America's basic structure, its constitution, and the absurd senate and electoral college - "It's a Republic."
History is so full of irony, it hurts...
'The term banana republic describes a politically and economically unstable country with an economy dependent upon the export of natural resources. In 1904, the American author O. Henry coined the term to describe Honduras and Costa Rica under economic exploitation by U.S. corporations, such as the United Fruit Company (now Chiquita).'
