I wanted to also add that while some of the US public IS “lazy”, when it comes to being politically informed, most people I know just simply do not have the time to devote to following politics closely, especially given that they have to “dig” for the information. Even local media in conservative areas is most often “awful”: Heavily lib biased, and short on solid content, in most stories. A few news shows like “60 Minutes” go after a little more content, but are so biased as to usually be hopeless.
One can only hope that a major network like CBS will be failing and purchased by some entity determined to restoring balance, or that a chunk of the current trend of “broadcasting” via Internet can grow into a real news organization with the resources of, say, a NBC or Fox or ABC.
Maybe the Trump kids can continue to succeed, and eventually do it?
Totally agree with all that you say. It is the only way out of this quagmire in the long run.
Thinking on a deeper level about this, the demographic levels have shifted and been manipulated to such an extent, politically, it may already be over, should Trump not prevail.
Corruption in endemic, and every year that goes by, it gets worse, and whats more - it becomes tolerated/accepted by the wishy washy masses. Without a question it is more serious in the US. The notion that illegal immigrants could have sanctuary cities, driving licenses and the audacity to protest to vote, is absolutely shocking.
We have had the same thing in the UK and Europe - you simply cannot import millions of people from less socially and economic countries without serious political consequences at a minimum.
