In the wake of last week’s controversial conviction of Donald Trump, the term “banana republic” keeps being thrown around in reference to the United States.

[The no-longer-satire site Babylon Bee offers some clues]:- Your leader is a corpse: No matter how complicated the system of wires and pulleys may be, it’s still obvious.
- Millions of citizens of other banana republics are migrating to your country because it feels like home: Only the best banana republics attract people from all the other banana republics.
- All of your country’s elections are supervised by the CIA: Nothing fishy at all about an intelligence agency determining who runs the country. Totally fine.
- There are bananas everywhere: Could be an indication.
- The media, big corporations, and law enforcement all work for the government: [Would never happen in the USA would it?]
- Your nation’s currency is worth less than actual bananas.
