Trump was Wrong in Every Way

But he was elected anyway.

This statement consists of two sub-statements - (1) what kind of person he was (and still is) and (2) the fact that he was elected - and will probably stay elected.

This leaves us with the question "What was going on in the minds of the electorate, that made them chose him?" This was clearly an unconscious decision - and as with all such decisions, we can only make an educated guess at what was going on in the hidden recesses of their minds. But we can note - that Americans are denying that such hidden places exist!

They are saying, as they have been saying for some time "We don't want to think about it!"

We know two things here - Americans cannot think, and they elected a President can cannot think either. It's not hard to see how these are related.

This is not a sophisticated analysis - it is clear that Americans can do some kinds of thinking - and do them over and over. But their social abilities, are badly compromised.
