Americans Hate Themselves

But do not realize this.

This situation has been building for some time, but it became critical when they realized, the Computer was controlling them.

This should have not have been such a big shock, we have always been influenced heavily by our technologies - but since they did not know what the Computer was, and how it worked. they saw it as some malignant, overwhelming force. And they panicked.

This is why, to everyone's surprise - they elected Trump. For two reasons - (1) they thought he would somehow solve their problems - and (2) this was a way of destroying America.

There are more sophisticated ways of understanding this - but this way is short and brutal.
