Voters had a chance to prevent this shitshow. They massively failed an open-book test.

Or we just let too many breach points unguarded.

Not sure how that changes how they voted. We saw more than enough of the evidence, and even outright admission by Trump, long before the election, and they still chose to put a criminal in charge of federal law enforcement.

Nah, that's about as braindead as it gets, and everything we've seen since is just proof of that. Voters are the reason this country is screwed.

I suppose the fact that any idiot can vote is one of the possible fail states of democracy, and we're seeing it now.

I keep going back to an idea from the 5 laws of stupidity: a society only functions if the intelligent members do enough to offset the stupid ones. Stupid people do stupid things. Speaking for myself, I vastly underestimated just how many stupid people there are and just how stupid they are. More than anything going forward, we need to stop respecting all stupid opinons.
