In ‘Stupid White Men’ he goes through American society with a fine tooth comb, starting with the Bush clan, he dissects them one by one and proves how they rigged the election against Democratic Party candidate, Al Gore; he caricatures GW Bush as an idiot President of an idiot nation; he writes that America, is number one in many things: “We are number one in billionaires, number one in millionaires, number one in firearm deaths, number one in oil consumption…. number one in lowest voter turnout!
The first reason in Michael Moore’s predictive list why Donald Trump would win the November 8, 2016 election is based on US being, ‘Number One in lowest voter turnout-’ culture. His view is that one reason Hillary Clinton would lose was the low turnout voter phenomenon, which Americans were famous for; (It turned out that indeed the turn-out would be low at 46 percent- plus). In the situation, the candidate who had ‘rabid’ supporters, Donald Trump was the one, who was likely to be victorious; from casual observation Donald Trump supporters were the ‘rabid’ ones. It was manifest during the campaign, they were the gullible, the unshakeable. ‘Trump for president!’ Women groping, be damned! Allegations against Trump were better left unsaid!
