In one way I'd say Americans are getting exactly what they deserve. In another way I think Americans have been so completely mislead by social media, to the point where someone like Trump can run some some ads on Facebook, stoke the unrest, get people into an uproar, and work to keep them there for years while he lies to them that he is their savior.
Remember when Cambridge Analytica was in the news for manipulating voter profiles with Facebook? Those were the days, when we actually saw how the American election cycle has become a game and we thought this time someone will really do something about.
Then we realized nobody cares, and around and around we keep going.
