Talking to Americans

When I was young, I can remember my grandparents (born in the early 20th century) saying that talking to Germans was always awkward: you always wanted to ask them what did they do in the war? In the coming years talking to Americans will be just the same: everyone will want to ask, who did they vote for? Were they, are they, fascists?

And they will answer no, of course they didn't vote for him, of course they're not racists, not fascists. But about half of them were, about half of them are. About half of them will lie, just as that generation of Germans did in the 1950s.
