Because the entire population is dumbed down by Affirmative Action over the decades. Dumber and dumber by the year and incapable of serious thought.
True. I read a good book called The Closing of the American Mind by Allan Bloom. He talks of the loss of critical thought in it.
Wasn't much better during the 1980 campaign. My German neighbors pleaded with me to vote for Carter, because they were convinced Reagan would start WWIII. Fortunately, my German was conversational, as I was in my 3rd year of residence.
At the gasthauses I frequented, they gave me the opportunity to educate them on American civics/history.
When the American hostages were freed on Inauguration Day, they saw how right I was. Shortly after, I was invited to sit at the stammtisch at the gasthaus in my neighborhood. Back then, that was quite an honor, to be invited to sit at the table reserved for family and close friends of the family.
It didn't hurt that I was one of their best customers. ;)
I often spent 2-3 hours a day there after work, eating dinner and drinking a liter (or two) of Konigsbacher Pils. Not much else to do, as I was too far from base for American TV.
I basically went without TV for over 4 years...didn't mind it a bit.
