as the nation desperately needed to evolve, but they took us backward instead because it served their owners' interests.

They just focused on the most superficial shit, "he spoke differently than regular politicians" so he must be different, as if that was something in itself, while they all but ignored substance.

Decades of dumb-ing the American People down made *rump's (or someone like him) rise to power inevitable.
