If Trump is not removed, the USA will go lower and lower. One month have passed and USA has no friends already.

I'd imagine that the drug cartels make some of the regions in Mexico significantly worse from a everyday perspective.

Ironically, Hungary, which hasn't switched prime minister in 15 years, is higher than Romania on this index. So take from that what you will.

wow, so this index is completely useless!

Yeah, but I'm not sure what metrics they're using, but it's pretty clear from the context. An analogy, if a student doesn't turn in homework, actively tells a teacher to fuck off, causes disruptions that harm other students; technically they haven't failed until grades are turned in.

I really haven't been impressed with the democracy index.

The Economist is a British newspaper. No Americans here.

Idk man. It's hard to beat immigrant concentration camps and trans genocide.

Yeah, imagine living under Cartel law, must not be the best experience.

[golli@lemm.ee]

And for sure not a very democratic one.
