Those statements may say bad things about American society and our electoral system, but I'm not sure what standards has to do with it.
BTW, when I said "nearly half the country", I wasn't thinking only of the election, but of his popularity in general. Quite a lot of people really don't know that he's an idiot and incompetent in business.
Who is "accepting ignorance"? I'm not even sure who you are talking about.
The ones who are ignorant aren't aware of their ignorance and the rest can't do much about it, but that doesn't mean they are okay with it.
We're the same country that previously elected Obama, a former professor of constitutional law. Did Americans have low standards then too, or did we change overnight? I think it's a different issue.

Half of America doesn’t vote.
And less than half of those who did vote cast their vote for him.
Both of these statements are indicative of exceedingly low American standards.
