20% of population lives in poverty.
Let's examine your first falsehood.
There are many ways to lie and using statistics is a very popular method. That method of lying becomes even more powerful when we compare things that are not comparable. That's a very popular method used by the Climate Hoaxters, and you're using it here.
What is YOUR definition of poverty? Not having 3 cars? Not having the very latest curved OLED television? The "poverty" that your statistic refers to in the US (and the rest of the Western World,) is not exactly the poverty that is experienced in the sh*thole countries being discussed. I seriously doubt you have traveled much outside of Maryland and the DC area, but poverty, and I mean, abject poverty is a terrible thing and it is usually enforced on the population by their government, always a leftist kleptocracy. There have been countless studies done of our "poor" and by and large the vast majority of poor US citizens are much better off than the vast majority of the world. They are also better off than virtually everyone who lived in the US even 40 years ago. Smartphones, computers, HD TVs, A/C, health care, food; you name it.
I think equating our US poor to the really poor people of the world is disgusting and you would be ashamed of yourself, if you had a conscience.

1 in 6 go hungry every night.
Perhaps, but that's not for lack of food; the obesity epidemic encompasses far more of the poor people. The folks who go hungry at night are those on a diet.

60,000 drug deaths each year.
What does that even mean? It's just a throwaway statistic with no backup information, no explanation, nothing.
60,000 "drug deaths" a year means nothing. Did you know that medical errors, malpractice, kill 250,000 people per year? It's the third leading cause of death in the US. You want to use "recreational" drugs? Have at it, when you OD, don't come crying to me.
You mean like genocides such as those in Rwanda, where over a million people were killed by their machete-wielding neighbors? Like Kosovo, Iraq, Kuwait, Mexico, Sri Lanka, etc...
Or are you talking about the Wor on Drugs, the War on Poverty, the Democrat War on Women, etc?

run by corrupt politicians
You may have something there: Oakland, Detroit, Chicago, Baltimore, New Orleans, St-Louis? What do those sh*tholes all have in common? Let me help you with that, they are run by Democrats and have been for decades.

Just kidding, that's America.
You truly are a disgusting person and if you really think America is like that, I would enjoin you to move to Mexico, or Cuba, or El Salvador.
