Because letting people with horrible ideas speak their message doesn't defeat their ideas when half the population also harbors those bad ideas. We have SEEN that security theater in this country doesn't keep us safe, that it robs us of our liberties and costs us inordinate amounts of money for a placebo. Yet we still have people (non-congress) that endorse the patriot act, that endorse border fences, and spying on the public.

People are stupid, and in the land of the stupid the lunatic is king.

So you're against democracy, at least this one, in practice?

I assume the majority are too busy to inform themselves or vote. However maybe America should retreat to older systems and Senators should be appointed by the state legislation as before, the states should be given powers previously the federal government's and everybody survive because not too many state legislators could be mad in the same way across the country just mad in their own unique way?

Everyone is against democracy, once the majority is against them.
