You see, this is why I don't exactly respect your opinions. All your arguments are based upon generalizations, that of which are highly biased. I could easily say that many Europeans would not know how to locate certain places on the US map, including States such as Rhode Island, Utah and New Hampshire. Many of my friends know where Greece is located, perhaps that's partly why they are my friends, but you can't hold this supposed worldy igorance against everybody here. Yes, we have quite a number of idiots here, but you should feel blessed that you live in a place where learning other languages are crucial and other cultures are so close by.
Just like I might not understand the typical European (although I think I do), perhaps many Europeans don't understand the typical American. Too many people are trying to relate the American goverment to the citizens, and while many here are idiots, not all of us are. This is something that does piss me off more than anything else.

And it's definately not the case that Europeans are not susceptible to populism. Hell, right here in Belgium we have a populistic formation that preaches xenophobia, and gets about 20% of the votes. But this party will never ever get a chance to reign, even if it has the most votes (which it once had). Maybe our electoral system makes people more critical, but I don't know actually, I'm definately no expert on this matter.
