Technically, it's impossible for the US to become a third world country.
The idiom has its roots in the cold war.
1st World Countries: Those allied with the USA against the Soviet Union.
2nd World Countries: Those allied with the Soviets.
3rd World: Everybody else.
It's probably not a coincidence, that the 3rd world mostly consisted of places too small, too poor, and too unimportant to be drawn into orbit in the 1st and 2nd worlds.
The whole zeitgeist in white countries of wanting outsiders to come in is so strange. Historically, every country was tribal, that's why there were so many wars fought for centuries over seemingly minute differences in culture between the Scottish and the English, the Germans and the Polish, Koreans and Chinese, etc.
But for some reason in the last 50 years all the whites just decided that history is over and all those differences don't matter anymore. And yet none of the other races/cultures got that memo, they're as tribal as ever and competing for the interests of their people. I don't get it.
