Its a good question to ask. It seems our system is just so great it is always one election away from destruction. Its a logical hole that I've yet to hear a good argument against.
It seems that these clowns over the decades have done such a terrible job of "running the country" that our population is so dumb they need the messages dumbed down to this level. This is true of both sides. Neither has a hopeful message or new direction that will lead us to a new height of prosperity and freedom. Its all about stopping the other team.
If the Constitution is so great why hasn't it protected us against these clowns? If democracy works so well why is our nation at each others throats every four years screaming our democracy is at stake?
If so called public education is good why do the people need such a dumb marketing message? Why doesn't any politician running for president discuss the federal reserves role in inflation?
These are questions you only hear from libertarians and people in that realm of thought.
Well said. You should be writing for Reason

Those are kind words sir.
I'm trying to avoid clown world lately. As much as one can. Its all so absurd to me and feeling more and more pointless to engage on. I do so here because of people like you and people that might be reachable.
In my experience most of the people I know are either locked into the mind control or never have cared much. The later are much better off in my opinion. There's a small number of people that watch it all as if its pro wrestling but they are the exception.

They certainly are dumbing down the message, think we got down to a low of 3rd-4th grader comprehension level with Trump's speeches:

At least he didn’t confuse gouging with gauging

Haha, did you watch Trump's 'economic' speech last week, I believe it was in NC. He, a "super smart real estate investor", did not know what the words delinquent or default mean. These are extremely basic terms that anyone in real estate (and I'd argue most people outside of real estate) should know. It is just funny at this point.
You point out gouging with gauging, but how many of Trump's gaffes can you name over the years? They are countless, but I imagine from your message, you likely don't watch news sources that expose you to them. Trump is on par with Biden with gaffes, with the added fun of spewing countless lies :)
