Americans suffer in large part because we don’t know our government‘s history, because we don’t care about that history. We root for our teams and we don’t notice or care until it’s too late. What we are watching play out today is an upshot of the fathomless ignorance and apathy of Americans who treat politics as professional sports or fake wrestling. Don Lemon’s case represents something close to the opposite of its portrayal in the corporate media.
