We have met the enemy, and it is us
#3
In essence we are in trouble because we are too successful for our own good. We are bored, and someone like Trump stirs many Americans. We rely too heavily upon entertainment and social media to fill the void.

Maybe we are too prosperous, too mobile, and too connected to have a solid hold on anything. Narcissism ensues, and much that makes society work is humility.
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist  but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
