What is left to transition to make the transformation into the second world complete? A violent political insurrection against the houses of government and interference in the democratic process by a sitting president? Check.

i hear ya... we suck... but i don't think we've gone full Russia just yet... thus i view it more as we are transitioning into a second world country. It's not happening over night... little by little these oligarchs are chipping away at all liberties and guardrails...

Yea, I see what you're saying. I don't even think we suck. I think those oligarchs you mentioned suck and it's disapoointing that all of the people I grew up with and knew are dead inside for one crapitalist, institutional. hegemonic reason or another.
