@RulesBuster Democracy inherently involves a lot of people who don't know much having the vote. Doubly so in America (sorry). You can't assume that most of these people even heard the dictator thing. And the means to "educate yourself" are so polluted — there's a reason why "do your own research" is a conspiracy theory slogan.
