Character

Martin Amis, Guardian:

“[Trump] realises that there’s no meaningful hypocrisy, any more. People are proud of being dishonest, sharks and vultures; they care as little about marital fidelity as they do about the deficit. This election is going to be a referendum on the American character, not on Trump’s performance.”

How might this work? Is a vote for Trump a vote for or against the American character? And Biden? What does a vote for Joe Biden express of one’s thoughts on the American character?
