    I think the problem is more that 80% of older Americans get their news from Fox, as well as the fact that 95% of Americans think everything can be dumbed down into a 30 second video and their opinion after watching it carries the same weight as someone who spent a lifetime studying the issue.

    And yes Hillary always has been a pretty terrible person. But Trump is so so so much worse.

      That is to say not every greybeard academic is immune to shit takes.
