Only in America, the land of the gullible marks.
Youre right.
I am old enough to remember when getting around some savvy Yank (even the most backward hayseed) was an impossible pipedream. That was back when every American USED was regarded as a real hard sell.
Now, we are a nation of fat, stupid, lazy cattle. Everyone cons the American public at will and about everything. They beat us up and take our lunch money DAILY! And I mean ...car manufacturers, doctors, ‘educators’, politicians, people who make tooth paste, etc. All of them!
The NEA and the MSM have cultivated a couple generations of very destructive and laughably gullible losers.
Nothing ELSE explains how or why people like Pelosi, Cortez, Clinton (both), Obama, etc. get themselves into positions of authority and responsibility.
correction:
That was back when every American USED to be regarded as a real hard sell.
To illustrate your point perfectly, I watched a bit of the Leaving Neverland documentary about Michael Jackson last night. It is truly sickening, but I can see how it is somewhat illuminating for idiots.
There is a scene in which Michael Jackson is found not guilty and his retarded fans celebrate outside of the courthouse. There is a shot with one middle aged blonde woman releasing Doves into the sky to celebrate. Her face expressing pure joy and elation over the release of an obvious, in-your-face child molesting pedophile.
That is the America I see all around me.
