America tries to assimilate...

[kentuck]

When we turn on cable news, CNN, MSNBC, FOX News, 75-90% of their stories seem to be about the President-elect, Donald J Trump? Why is that?

People are fascinated by the unknown, hoping someday to understand. It is like a fiery crash on the side of the road. We can't take our eyes off it.

That is the next President of the United States. He is a car wreck. An entire family may have died in the crash, but he assures everyone that it is beautiful, because he survived.

There is no understanding. There is no assimilation. We are headed up shit creek and you are advised to hold on to your paddle.

1. My wife's opinion - much of America is now getting a reality show...which it loves

We've never watched one - just don't get the attraction. We've not watched TV for 8 years now. So everything going on is doubly mysterious to us both. I suspect the average IQ in this country has decreased significantly since the 24/7 news cycle and proliferation of garbage TV
