The last election cycle should have taught us something about America. And I hope to contribute to that insight.
Obama was president and we should have learned a lot from his failure. He made magnificent speeches that everyone listened to. But soon learned they were only speeches and meant nothing.
What did we learn from that? Nothing, especially the Democrat party. They should have grabbed him by the collar, and said: "Get Real!". But they did not, and no one expected them to.
Americans (and nearly everyone else) no longer knew what this instruction meant.
They were not aware of ordinary reality and expected something more exotic. Trump fit that bill, and they elected him.
It is easy to say "Americans are stupid!" And there is a lot of df truth in that. But we need to say more, like how we are stupid.
