Before delve into my review of "The Grand Tour" and once more complain about Apple's lack of "Appleness", I will say a fee last words about the election. The level to which people have taken the results of the election two weeks ago forces to the question of whether or we should just abolish the Presidency altogether. Obviously that would be a terrible I idea, but with proliferation of social media and the media's coverage are at the point of being intolerable.
We have no one to blame but ourselves for the results of this election. We're the ones who listened to the media, listened to the candidates, and decided based upon party rather than on principle. Instead of picking from the top shelf in the primaries, we drove our hands directly in the cesspool of American society and politics. Neither candidate was the ideal choice, yet they were made the front runners. And when the third parties tried to give you an alternative, you all still didn't listen.
The American voter is more dazzled by a sensationalized campaign, than a look at the actual facts. We want everything in bite sized tweets so we don't have to think real hard or read for a few seconds. It's probably the reason Apple can make computers that are almost useless and Samsung can make a phone that explodes and still make a profit.
I beg everyone, in 2020, please think about the candidates presented before. Do your research and stop listening to what the main stream media and the hype of social media. It is tiresome have to always pick between the lesser of two evils or a third party no one listens too. This campaign and it's aftermath have probably jaded more people to the political process than any other campaign. Every four years we have two terrible candidates that no one wants, despite being the people's choice, and then complain about the result and blame it on everything else but ourselves.
