Pre democracy, there was an argument against the masses voting because they were unsound minds, unqualified to know what was best for a country.

Reading politics posts here add substance to that concern. Every slack jawed idiot has a vote to cast. And that’s possibly why things are as they are.

Perhaps democracy has had its day.

The informed public was always a prerequisite to good governance in a democracy.
The Americans killed the truth to be safe from democracy, but it's not like you get anywhere telling them. This is their finest hour.
Unsound minds are everywhere in the USA and the things people should be doing are fringe, radical woke pie in the sky never going to see that.
