    Maybe if the news had talked about someone besides Trump sometime in the last decade we’d be better informed.

      like you were informed before TFG ran for office…? or were they talking about him then too?

        Not sure what TFG means. I would consider myself fairly well informed prior to Trump getting elected. Presidents still got the lion’s share of coverage but I was fairly aware of what a lot of other political figures were doing. Since Trump was running against Hillary practically everything in US politics is about him or relating to him in some way. I still try to read news every day but it’s incredibly frustrating with how much coverage that orange POS gets.

          weird you switched from “we” in your previous comment to “I” here. my point was the US voters were never well informed. be it reelecting W, or picking the original celebrity president Reagan with an insane landslide, a brilliant move that would ruin the country for generations to come.
