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.

@mekkaokereke the best thing that's happening is 3rd world countries are starting to realize that being like the US (or UK) is no longer aspirational. Going to be interesting watching that sink in

@Offbeatmammal @mekkaokereke lol yeah!! As our Zuma years ended, the Trump and Boris years started and it was amazing to see. Grass isn't so green in the "developed world". Rather come to South Africa, we may have no electricity but at least we have reproductive freedom, sexual freedom and are much more honest about our racism.
