Joking aside, it's clear the USA is over. Our tiny ape-brains are incapable of coping with the (mis)information deluge that modern technologies have made possible. The future belongs to tyrants, who will carefully control media output fashioned to their purposes. Today's incoherent scrum in which profit-driven organizations pump out drivel in order to grab eyeballs that can be monetized has destabilized society and opened the way for our next "great leader" to step in to save us. And then control carefully what we're permitted to believe. On the bright side, it will be less insane than the nonsense Republicans currently believe.
