How so? And does that outweigh the negatives and weaknesses we've seen in the electoral college system over the past 2 election cycles?

Textbooks baby! As dry and technical as they are, that's where all the good stuff is.

Practical Electronics for Inventors by Paul Scherz and Simon Monk.

They start with Electronics 101 stuff and move all the way into building robots by the end of the 1000 pages. It'll take a loooong while to get through it all, especially if you're building real life stuff as you go, but I'd argue you could get a job as an Electrical Engineer if you master that textbook alone lol.

For a quicker route, get your hands on an Arduino Kit and start experimenting with those parts, they'll usually come with project ideas and instructions. Then move up to a RPi or down to a PIC microcontroller depending on your project needs. That'll give you more practical knowledge but you won't have a strong fundamental knowledge base.
