America was always that amazingly dumb, we just didn't have the ability to fully appreciate without social media putting it all simultaneously on public display to the world.

Same opinion with fooling people. It's not easier to fool people, but it's just way way easier to fool huge numbers of people at the same time now. You used to have to put work into it and go community-by-community. Now one submit button on your phone and you have access to tens of millions of people to fool at once all from the comfort of your couch.

I've been riding the "social media will be the downfall of civilization" train for awhile. Pshaw to meteors, plagues, and nukes. Lol
