Unfortunately, for a lot of people the answer is yes.  They are not interested in doing the work of learning about policy and understanding the candidates’ positions, they just want someone who will tell them what they want to hear regardless of whether it’s grounded in reality.[/quote]

Sure seems that way.

And maybe some people are angry about various real issues and misdirected their anger in an irrational way.

Why do we let the proles vote anyway? [/quote]

It's not just proles. Well, unless you consider everyone who isn't a billionaire a prole. Maybe we are.  :lol:

Proles are anyone that are not in the political class. Our politicians should be appointed by other politicians. That's the only safe way to government democratically.  [/quote]

I was assuming it was a 1984 reference. Which is eerily appropriate here.

IGNORANCE IS TRUTH.

It is. War is peace![/quote]
