#21: Presidential Perception
I feel like this whole article is just me learning that I have an instinct to come to my fellow Americans’ defense. But I do genuinely think there are mitigating circumstances for a lot of these pieces of stupidity. In this particular case, I give you the mitigating circumstance of the prime minister.
By that, I mean the fact that a lot of the countries that America has close ties to—Canada, the UK, Australia—have prime ministers as their heads of state. (Well, plus the queen). So even if you were an American who was informed about foreign affairs, it would be genuinely possible to go a while and not come across a country that has a president.
