Why Did We Let Stupid People Run America?
-
Because the voters are stupid.
Because stupid people vote.
Because the FBI and the Mockingbird media collided with the Beltway bureaucrats to do so.
Not too many normal people would want to run for political office.
Also stupid people vote
George Carlin, “Dem Elites continue to harm innocent Americans via their power and money.
Warning Carlin profanity is below:
Carlin”: It’s a big club, and you ain’t in it.
You and I are not in the big club. By the way, it’s the same big club they use to beat you over the head with all day long when they tell you what to believe. All day long beating you over the head in their media telling you what to believe, what to think and what to buy. The table is tilted folks.
The game is rigged, and nobody seems to notice, nobody seems to care. Good honest hard-working people — white collar, blue collar, it doesn’t matter what color shirt you have on —
They don’t give a ***k about you. They don’t care about you at all — at all — at all. And nobody seems to notice, nobody seems to care. That’s what the owners count on; the fact that Americans will probably remain willfully ignorant of the big red, white and blue dick that’s being jammed up their ********** everyday.
Because the owners of this country know the truth: it’s called the American Dream, because you have to be asleep to believe it.”

Having 50% stupid voters . . . many which never should have been given the vote in the first place . . . the answer is really quite simple.
Years ago I noticed that after the American people fell in love with Presidents that seemed youthful — because of Kennedy — that in the general election, with the notable but understandable exception of LBJ who was Kennedy’s VP, the candidate with the poofiest hair won.
Naturally there were nuances such as W and Kerry both had poofy hair but Kerry’s face was visually longer so as a matter of perception W was poofier. Also it didn’t how poofy their hair was if the candidate was black or a woman.
So aside from the last guy that STOLE the election poofy wins for white men ... even if they are actually old dudes.
In Congress by contrast all that seems to matter is a letter by the name, even if they are proven backstabbing douchebags who think Reagan’s Rule is for losers and getting along with Democrats is how you show you are a “stateman” ... and of course douchbaggery only seems to increase with the number of terms for both parties.
So there you have it and I guess the point in all this is that idiots are running the show because many voters are idiots ... when the elections don’t get stolen by Democrats and then many voters are disenfranchised idiots.
Also: I’m glad I’m not a drinker because having posted this, if I were, I would be facing a serious hangover tomorrow.
Those “elitists” best enjoy themselves while they can, their eternities won’t be very pleasant or enjoyable at all.
Because “we” got stupid first. And with millions upon millions of stupider people coming here and having kids...we have been stupid-ed out of our own country.

As a side note to this thread, please consider the following.
The drafters of the Constitution never gave ordinary ciizens the express constitutional power to vote for federal senators or POTUS, only the power to vote for members of the House of Representatives. This is mainly because it was thought that allowing ordinary citizens to vote for representives was a good way to limit federal taxes and spending.
The only reason that we now vote for senators and POTUS against the intentions of constitutional drafters is this imo. The enemies of the constitutional republic are using mob rule to elect crooks to federal and state governments to slowly destroy the republic with massive unaccountable spending, evidenced by Pelosi's unconstitutional omnibus bill.
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
“If the tax be not proposed for the common defence, or general welfare, but for other objects, wholly extraneous, (as for instance, for propagating Mahometanism among the Turks, or giving aids and subsidies to a foreign nation, to build palaces for its kings, or erect monuments to its heroes,) it would be wholly indefensible upon constitutional principles [emphases added].” — Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2 (1833).
“Cherish, therefore, the spirit of our people, and keep alive their attention. If once they become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, judges and governors, shall all become wolves [emphasis added]. It seems to be the law of our general nature.” - Thomas Jefferson (Letter to Edward Carrington January 16, 1787)
Because voters can be stupider than the stupid people running America.
Because we have too many stupid voters!!! 🙄
One reason the electorate has been so thoroughly brainwashed by the fake news media and social media. The opposition is helpless with the exception of Trump. Not optimistic that we can turn it around in the future.
Until everyone one realizes that they are not stupid they will continue to hold power. What they are doing is intentional and planned. Rush Limbaugh knew it a long time ago when he said that he hoped Obama would fail.
I take offense at the use of past tense.
Who’s this “WE”??
Typically, 60% of registered voters do not vote. So of the 40% who do, it only takes a “majority” of 21% to put some dumbsh^t lefty in office or on a judicial bench.
“Why Did We Let Stupid People Run America?”
We didn’t...democrats did.
Stupid isn’t the biggest problem. Criminally corrupt and tyrannical are the biggest problems. You can survive stupid. There’s no surviving what we have.
