I fear our election system has been irreparably damaged and what we are experiencing is the inevitable resul; The electoral college is severely misused, state senators no longer elect US senators (this was supposed to guard against power concentrating in large cities), the judiciary is no longer independent, constitutional limitations are routinely ignored and everyone is allowed to vote without restriction or condition.
We are no longer a constitutional republic as the founding fathers intended. We are now an open, inclusive mob-rule democracy, with virtually no citizenship and voting restrictions, much like the one that caused the fall of Rome.
Don't question them. They obviously were experts who knew what they were doing. Nobody could have seen that coming....except, of course for the millions of people without political, financial or bureaucratic interests at stake.
I will not say you are stupid, because even highly intelligent people make frequent mistakes. You have, however profoundly misunderstood the situation.
