The US has a long history as the land of the bullshitter - the snake-oil sales men, the Psychics and Tarot card readers, the self-help authors, the "business coaches", MLM... the list is endless.

And people love it so much they'll gladly get into debt for it and even vote for the king of Bullshit for president.

Ah, why did you have to spoil a great cultural observation with a contemporary political dig at the end?

But it's not political, really. Both parties have different politicians shoveling different bullshit to different people. Same game, different target audience.

That's not to say genuine people/products/value doesn't exist but you have to dig through so much bullshit to find any of it.
