Status-Q

A sombre mood here in our half-American household. The phrase that keeps running through my head is...

Elect me once, shame on me.
Elect me twice...

For those struggling to understand the US election results, I can only offer the following statistical observations:

• Roughly half of the world are of below-average intelligence.
• Roughly half of the world are of above-average gullibility.
• More than half of the world are on social media.

Sometimes these combine in unfortunate ways.
