When some random #MAGAidiot complains that one of Trump's new policies is hurting them, instead of blaming Trump, just remind the idiot "Isn't that what you voted for?"

This is like renaming the Gulf of Mexico; The US starts qualifying as a Third World Country so now they want to change the term.

Second world was the communist countries, and third world was the rest of them.

can't be, the only metric that defined a third-world country was that it was not allied with the us or the ussr
