What the people want isn’t always right either. Case in point: Trump.

Democracies work if the society invests in educating the voting public. This government does the opposite because they know smart = more likely left leaning.

This makes a lot of sense. He’s a narcissist and knows his most valuable asset is his fucking name. So naturally he has to believe that genes are the most important factor in assessing someone’s quality, otherwise he’s just an old moron with a disastrous history of poor investments. But! He’s a Trump. So, therefore, he is awesome.
