Since a politician never believes what he says, he is quite surprised to be taken at his word.

Just like in 2001, the states that lost (California, Washington, New York, Massachussetts, Illinois) are the states that grant the the USA its status as the world's superpower: all the science and technology that gives the USA the key advantage over other countries come from San Francisco, Seattle, Silicon Valley, Los Angeles, New York, New Jersey, Boston and Chicago: Apple, Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Amazon, MIT, Harvard, Stanford, Berkeley, IBM, virtual reality, artificial intelligence, the biopharmaceutical industry... you name it. These states are increasingly aware that their scientific and engineering achievements are enabling a majority of ignorant people (who doesn't even believe in their science) to rule the world. It's a paradox that only happens in the USA because only in the USA is the disconnect between the educated minority (that makes the USA great) and the uneducated majority (that elects the government) so large. Silicon Valley and Boston literally empower the likes of Sarah Palin and Sean Hannity who don't even believe in science: without Silicon Valley and Boston these people would be humble peasants scavanging for food in primitive forests and valleys instead of being influential voices that decide who rules the country.

You should feel bad for claiming as such without pointing them out :P

This election was the worst possible publicity for democracy. It would be hard to find one Chinese or Russian citizen who envies the USA. Authoritarian regimes throughout the world are savoring the grotesque farce that took place in the USA: it will discourage their subject from even thinking of starting a democratic revolution. Do you really want to end up like the USA? What a reversal of international prestige from the past, when the people of every nation were envying the people of the USA.

The USA's status as a world superpower first and foremost stems from nuclear weapons, which were engineered in Oak Ridge TN and Los Alamos NM predominantly.
Silicon Valley and Boston are not responsible for my rising above that of a hunter-gatherer.
The scions of the computing industry are not more equal than any of the rest of us.
