> In the US, the average person has grievances, is made fun of constantly on TV, and watches as people argue solutions that don't seem to have anything to do with the problem but sure fit their "let no crisis go to waste" mentality. Religious people are always portrayed as secretly corrupt or idiots[2]. Your jobs can get shipped off, replaced by someone on a visa, or a robot will do them. Celebrities are constantly shown knowing more about your job than you and calling you stupid or a villain. I'm not from the US but I find this surprising. My experience is that politics and the media tell the people what the people want to hear which most of the time are simple solutions to complex problems. Most of the time the problems are someone else's fault, of course. So, yes, people have been deceived but the solution is not yet another vote for absurd reasons. BTW, tomorrow we have (again) elections in Spain. Whatever the result the discussion has already left me dissapointed.
