REPUBLIC not Democracy
Americans are f**king idiots. The United States of America is NOT a democracy. It’s a republic. A representative government. You elect your representative.
I’m just sick of watching protesters saying “democracy is dead!” when, in fact, it was never really here to begin with.

Indeed. I've been saying Americans are stupid for years! Predictably, nobody ever listens to me.
Personally, I don't think it's that Americans are stupid, per se; it's just that the percentage of stupid people in America is higher than in other nations.
Yet, the future is not bright. If people can't discern the complexities of the US Government, *snicker* they sure aren't going to understand any of them thar foreign governments.
The smart people are few and far between. There are far too many attractive dumb people out there, lurking to drag down the gene pool. I urge everyone who's smart not to choose your mates flippantly, for the sake of your children and the rest of the world! Stop stupidity's advance!

The real problem is that the stupid people are always louder than the smart people.

"what these folks are getting at is the fact that america is a constitutional republic, not a democracy. they are, of course, absolutely correct. we (meaning me, the dog, and my couch) do not like pure democracies. a pure democracy is where 51% of the people get to play soccer with the teddy bears of the other 49%. -- jonah goldberg"
