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.

As ever, @mekkaokereke nails it with flagging what ‘White washing’ is.

People who are saying “we are like a 3rd world country” are basically saying “Our high and mighty White country gets to discount this as an exception. Everyone please think about those Black countries.”

Well, I have to say it, this is not an exception, it’s US normal and the GOP couldn’t be more White.

Please also don’t forget why a lot of ‘3rd world countries’ are poor because that would actually be the legacy of White colonialism.

If you are White and GOP and think you have good ethics then great, just please wake the fuck up! Also, if you are awoken, then you are woke, and that is good.
