"We spend a fair amount of time digesting the alternately hilarious and horrifying proposition that we have elected a Fox News Grandpa as President of the United States. Donald Trump, American president, is a bit of a science experiment: what if you elected a low-information voter who's allergic to books to be the world's most powerful man? In fact, Trump is more than that. He's the monster that escaped from the lab, the grotesque amalgam of decades of racial resentment and weaponized anti-intellectualism that have steadily erupted out of the Fox News-Talk Radio Vortex. The results of making such a creature the president have been...instructive."
