The whole American (and western) political diaspora is supposed to be dumbed down and with the bar so lowered since 2000 and maybe even 1980...this becomes the new normal.
In 1965, the average American newspaper used a lexicon of around 400,000 words. By 2000, that had fallen to as low as 225,000 words in some areas. Today, many papers use a lexicon of as few as 150,000 words in an effort to avoid alienating less educated readers.
