The next time they give you all that civic bullshit about voting, keep in mind that Hitler was elected in a full, free democratic election. George Carlin
Americans revel in and brag about their crass, corrupt electoral process because it is an expression of their libertarian political DNA. In Morris Bergman's political trilogy, he lays out convincingly that at heart, America is a nation of hustlers: Fast Buck Freddys, Easy Money Eddys, Laissez-Faire Looky-Loos and Me-Me-Mes Gonna Be a Millionaire, who populate our churches, institutions of government and corporate boardrooms (my made up names, not Mr. Bergman's).
If there is one aspect of American culture that is emblematic of this political phenotype, just take a look at its electoral process. And for a baseline, compare it to a truly pluralistic, openly democratic, proud and fearless-of-the-populous-masses country, like France.
We like nonfiction and we live in fictitious times. We live in a time where we have fictitious election results that elect a fictitious president. Michael Moore
