The Intellectual Conservative Politics and Philosophy has laid out an argument I’ve often made.
It appears that these days it’s futile to try to hold an intelligent debate with most people as most seem too dumb and unintelligent to be able to debate or even worse use any facts at all. This isn’t just a matter of difference of opinion, it’s that far too many people are utterly incapable of realizing how brainwashed they’ve been by the media and political figureheads (a.k.a. politicians) and therefore can’t realize that they’re spouting media platitudes and being childish while their opponent may well be of a quite different breed.
This is why we have the electoral college as you still can’t trust ordinary citizens to make qualified decisions. Mind you, in an age where even the electoral college is made up of such morons, this safeguard no longer works as intended. What is needed is a set of mandatory civics and history exams for anyone in any position to make political decisions. If you’re too dumb to pass those you’ve no business being in politics, as a politician or a voter.
This isn’t elitism, it’s a factual look at reality. Most people are too dumb to make important decisions.
