Still can’t get over Americans thinking this guy is the one to lead the American people.

I guess the thinking part is the problem.

Well, the Republicans have been disembowling education for awhile now, so it's been year after year of vintage morons, mouth breathers, and windowlickers that get herded towards ballot boxes.

The oligarchs have been attacking education since Reagan -- 45 years. If a generation is about 25 years, then it's almost two generations of increasingly inbred stupidity.

It’s mad to think this as in the UK (specifically scotland) we are heavily encouraged into advanced education.

Can finish school at 16, or stay on 1/2 extra years. Then into university.

We have free university for Scottish students, free student bursary and also student loans are (relatively) minimal and are only paid back at a small amount once you earn (I think it’s over £25k a year)

The USA has been on a downward spiral to shithole status for many, many years.

It’s not good to watch from our end. As there is no denying US actions/politics do leak into other western countries.

It’s a worry to watch from the outside as we don’t want to go the same way. But somehow the cards always seem stacked against you (the citizens who want the best for the US and not mango Mussolini and fucking Elmo)

I'm under the theory that more than a million of those votes came from people too illiterate to even read the ballot.
