Democracy is Too Much Trouble!

My friend, Bob Siegel, sent the following, titled "The Electorate has Spoken: Democracy is Too Much Trouble."

 The 60% of the 2024 electorate that even went to the trouble to vote responded to Ben Franklin's "we've given you a republic, if you can keep it" with "no, we cannot keep it."

As for myself, I stopped paying attention to what Trump and his fellow MAGAcytes are doing.  It would change nothing if I did pay attention. 

I suggest you'll enjoy a happier life if you stop tilting at windmills and stop agonizing over the failure of our 250 year experiment in democracy.  After all, it outlasted every other similar experiment.  

The historic record is patently clear: the 60,000 year human species' craving for an authoritarian governing body, ideally headed by an all-powerful autocrat, is hard wired in our DNA.
