Sorry, idiots are popular with idiots so the idiots vote for the idiot and now the idiot is in charge.

Yes, because idiots allowed vile malicious non-idiots to gain control of their "news" media and stock markets, so OFC that went down hill fast.

Again: It's all about preventing and removing idiots from power, not about trying to control the masses of idiots.

You control the up-stream. Fighting down-stream is just begging to be pissed on.

Sorry, power rests in the hands of the people.

Most of whom are idiots.

You’re not wrong

To the oligarchs who have power they’re useful idiots.

They’d rather you blame the idiot orchestra than the conductor.

I’d rather blame all of us for leaving the trees.

It’s very clear that’s what happens. The concern now is what to do to break the system.
