5. We're not there yet. Give it a generation or two.

The fact that our young generation (17 - 25 year olds) are turning out to be a bunch of isolated, Hitler worshipping racists with a cult like mentality is absolutely mind blowing. They're just old enough to vote and figuring out how the world works. When they're old enough to run for office, that is when the proverbial shit will hit the fan.
