"This is exactly how it went in Cuba, why cant Americans see ahead?"
It's the same reason why Jehovah's Witnesses are seeing that the preaching work has come to a complete halt going on a year almost, and possible longer, tons of child sex abuse cases, the preposterous overlapping generation new light, the accelerated child baptisms, and all the other tweaks within the organization that makes it obvious it's not God's Only Channel to save mankind.---------------------
IGNORANCE!
They refuse to look at the evidence for whatever reason
Most Americans are not aware of what the political system did in Cuba. Most have no idea what happened in Venezuela. Most have no idea what Socialism is. They think Socialism is FREE EVERYTHING. And it's actually the upcoming generation that is being taught in Universities that Socialism is a good thing.

Not even so much refusing, it's just intellectual laziness. There are droves of Americans who know close to nothing about most things of relevance in the world. But ask them about the latest contestant on the bachelor, or the latest hollywood dating scandal, they can rattle on for hours.
Sorry to say, but I travel to Europe every year and in my dealings with people there, I'm always amazed at how cultured, and knowledgeable people are over there.
The stereotype of the American idiot, who is arrogant, ignorant, prone to excesses is to some extent true. Not always, not everybody, but enough to justify it.

"The stereotype of the American idiot, who is arrogant, ignorant, prone to excesses is to some extent true. Not always, not everybody, but enough to justify it."
Definitely! I've spent a lot of time in Europe and elsewhere. While traveling, I've regularly had American tourists approach me and rudely demand directions in English.
What do I mean by rude? Not saying please, thank you, excuse me and other polite basics in your own damn language.
My response to these people from now on, "Sorry, no speak English. "
Plus, it ain't that hard to learn a couple words in the language of the country you're in. You are generally treated better too.

Lol, Not My President!
It is rumored: ATT (Dallas Texas) wants to sell CNN. ATT has a lot of debt and think that CNN will further lose value. CNN's rating are low enough now and won't have anything to bitch about.

He lies, deceives, manipulates, divides, has policies that harm people, is narcisstic, delusional, arrogant, doesn't listen to facts, falsely prophesies the future. More worried about his own ego and reputation
WOW! I see Trump as the most straight-speaking "politician" (actually, we all know he is NOT a politician) in memory. For once, a guy who was not trying to better himself through his public office (ie, Clinton Foundation, Obama's books & Netflix deals, Biden's China-gate, etc). Rather, he really did pass laws and policy that benefited the working person -- regardless of race, sex, etc. He even donated his presidential salary of $400K/year to charity. (Biden's cancer charity was discovered to have done nothing but pay salaries -- NO research! The Clinton Foundation's donations dried up when she wasn't elected. So why were there so many donations when she was the heir apparent? Can you say: Quid pro quo? Maybe another Ukraine or China deal?)
I'm convinced he just never did fit in with the Washington Swamp and they were determined to get rid of him by whatever mean necessary. Lies, deceit, manipulation divisions, and harmful policies.
