There's a POTUS sitting in the White House that proves without the shadow of a doubt that a majority of Americans are mentally retarded

Do you think democracy is worth that risk, or would you like to curb the stupidity of the citizenry by limiting democracy?

It was just an observation.

I'm not suggesting anybody in the population should be barred from voting even if a majority of them are utter cretins and clearly unqualified to vote - because I don't care what anybody says: if you know anything about Trump and you vote for Trump, you ain't right in the head.

Like Churchill said, democ­ra­cy is the worst form of gov­ern­ment, except for all the oth­ers. So infuriating though it is, it's better to let the cretins vote than not letting vote.

I voted for Trump and am not 100% right in the head...but I don't think they're mutually exclusive and plan on going to therapy eventually.

Besides the point, you're not entirely wrong. The majority agreeing doesn't make them right. However, I don't think that's the point of the article.
