The US isn't the best place to live but objective measurements of quality of life prove that it isn't the worst. Saying it is is nothing more than childish hyperbole.
Yes, it does. You just said the term shifted to fit that new meaning. The US has a stable democracy, in case you haven't noticed.
Who said that? I didn't so I don't know what you're on about here.
For someone who just insisted Third World means nothing outside of the Cold War you are very certain (again) that you are exactly right about its meaning.
How many of its citizens believe election fraud happened or was attempted in the 2020 election? The 2024 election? How many believe there won't be any attempts at election fraud in 2028? Citizens that do not trust their democratic process is evidence of that democracy not being stable.
How much has the current government ignored trade deals that they have signed? How much flip flopping has happened without warning in regards to tariffs? Have these changes happened through the proper channels from the appropriate branches of government?
How many stories have their been in the past couple months of the government taking actions that its own courts call rule as illegal, and the government continues to do it anyway defying court orders?
If you think all of this sounds "stable" maybe you shouldn't be lecturing people on the definition of words.
