From a person from the UK who follows predominantly news from the US for the last decade it just seems like a gradual decline into madness. The trust in the Government is so low that you have millions following crazy conspiracy guys like Alex Jones.
Have Americans always been this dumb or was I just not aware how dumb they were 10 years ago. It's shocking and sad. You have flat earthers, truthers, lizard's, niburu, anti vaccine, creationist and Alex Jones.
Majority of British people are retarded but not even close to this level. It really looks like US society is turning into sci fi novel of the normals and the troglodytes. I think the population is getting split further and further and the growing disparity between wealth, skills, rationality and knowledge has grown too much. Troglodytes are getting left behind evolutionary. You can spot a trog easily if they are short, fat, bad skin and teeth or smoke.
The strange thing is that even the retards of Getbig seem much smarter than your average US troglodytes. Smart people in the US are amongst smartest in the world yet the average person in the US seems crazy delusional and dumb. Strange times.
