NOT better than that

Frank Bruni has realized what non-USians already know:

How Will I Ever Look at America the Same Way Again?:

""It’s always assumed that those of us who felt certain of Hillary Clinton’s victory in 2016 were putting too much trust in polls.

I was putting too much trust in Americans.

I’d seen us err. I’d watched us stray. Still I didn’t think that enough of us would indulge a would-be leader as proudly hateful, patently fraudulent and flamboyantly dishonest as Crook-in-Chief.

We had episodes of ugliness, but this? No way. We were better than Idiot-in-Cheat.

Except, it turned out, we weren’t.""

[To be fair, almost 3 million Americans were more sensible than to vote for Putin's Orange-Slime Puppet, but far too many were too cynical, too blasé, too dim, too desperate, too duped, and/or too damned deplorable to vote against a clear and bombastic menace. Arrogant, defensive, poorly-informed, insular, anti-intellectual rationalization is one of the worst traits in any population. To those flaws, too many Americans add hyper-religiosity, belligerent selfishness, and unapologetic greed.]
