Describe Titus and Violet's fight about the state of America, and why it made Titus feel stupid.

Titus and Violet discuss the state of America, because Violet is a person who cares about the world. She understands that the world is dying as a result of corporations, and she wants to do something, but can't. When she points out that America is a republic, and not a democracy, Titus begins to feel dumb. When she tells him only seventy three percent of the population has a feed, he feels even more dumb. Violet, ranting, points out that the feed is creating a nation of idiots, and too late, she realizes she has, in a sense, called Titus dumb, which even he realizes he is.
