Merci. That's exactly it.
Add to it people who have no cable (so no exposure to news usually) and satellite radio or Bluetooth from their phone in their car, and so many people are totally disconnected from the society they live in.
Often the only "news" they get is American-sourced infotainment à la John Oliver which is all about Trump's antics.
Freaky when you think that these dudes and dudettes we're electing today get to make decisions on how to spend a good chunk of the money we all earn. Not to mention how they'll shape the society we live in, as you said.
