        Having an election system where the majority of the votes doesn’t win is blatantly undemocratic and downright insane. As evidenced by the last two times that happened in the US.

        Let’s hope the day never comes, but I’m genuinely curious what would happen if that massive imbalance type of scenario occurred.

      Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but there are absolutely that mouth breathers in the US. A few months ago I drove by a fucking Trump rally that is held weekly out in some rural parking lot in Washington State, sans Trump.

      I have two neighbors with a let’s go Brandon banner plaster to the front of their house. Another guy ran for city council on a platform to mandate all teachers to carry AR-15s at school. There’s a lot of bananas bullshit out there still. These people believe that the United States is a failing state and the only way to save it is to kill liberals.
