I talked with a very dumb guy last fall. This guy was Lurch with
Frankenstein shoes. He spontaneously told me to vote for Trump because
he would reverse all of Obama's signing orders.

This guy doesn't know what a signing order is!! They just repeat what they
hear on Faux News and from their friends and coworkers.

This is democracy's Achilles heel. When education is dumbed down, stupid people
determine the course of government.

Enlightened despots would not allow this. Bismarck for example.
