When you grew up among Jews in my generation, you know a shitload of overachievers. So many people I grew up with seemed to be (maybe still) in a veritable arms race to accumulate as many official sounding titles as the world bestows. And yet for all the supposedly qualified people in America to run this country, they were all sailed over by the dumbest men on the planet. To me, that's the real indication that we know just how fucked we all are. There wasn't a single alleged meritocrat who knew how to prevent a hostile takeover of the entire democratic process; not just by criminals, but by America's dumbest criminals.
