But — and this is not a popular answer even if it’s a gong I sound regularly — one of the real reasons he won is because too many Americans are as decadent and depraved as our leaders, who, after all, we elect. We used to at least pretend character counted. Now, we don’t even bother. As George Carlin said in an old bit I ran on my site a few weeks back:
