They have been brainwashed to believe what no longer is true. Become convinced that you do not live in a true and terrific democracy, or that your democracy is the best in the world. I stopped believing this myth many years ago. All the objective evidence I saw over many years of paying intense attention both as a global citizen and someone who has studied the political system showed me that American democracy had steadily declined in quality, integrity and effectiveness. And now in this 2016 presidential race you have powerful and painful evidence that we are saddled with a delusional democracy.Thank Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump for opening your mind and eyes to reveal this revolting truth.
Delusional democracy refers to delusional Americans. So this year the key question for you to consider is whether you still choose to keep falsely believing that American democracy is worth being proud of. I just cannot see how Americans can accept these two major party Presidential candidates as reflecting a first rate democracy. They are, in fact, a major embarrassment that should make every American, regardless of their political party loyalty or previous political beliefs, cringe at the ugly reality that these two Presidential candidates are worthy of any respect, loyalty or votes. How could it come to this? Two world class liars. Two of the most widely known untrusted and untrustable unpopular politicians ever produced in the US or anywhere. Two sick narcissists in it for themselves, not the country. The US political system produced this reality. A two-party duopoly serving the rich and powerful, corporate contributors and many special interests, but not the ordinary, general public is what they have had for a long time. What gave that nation awful economic inequality, destruction of good paying middle class jobs in manufacturing, and horrendous national debt also gave us these two losers. Can you settle into voting for the lesser of two evils, when each of the two evils makes you gag? Evil does not accurately describe these two options. Choose the lesser of two embarrassments, of two calamities, of two democracy destroyers.
