Democracy is the best form of government

People in 2016: "it was a mistake to invade Iraq"

Well, "mistake" is a strange word to use for the killing of million people. Usually, I use the word "mistake" to describe an error in grammar.

People are stupid, so naturally a country governed by people will make bad decisions. To expect anything different would be pure stupidity.

People elected Hitler. Contrary to the popular belief, Hitler was not a dictator. In fact, he was elected. Germany before Hitler was a democracy. Hitler had as much popular support as Trump did.

Who would have thought that choosing leaders based on popularity and their false promises could be bad for the country?

We are expecting  that "Stupid voters elect smart leaders".

What we get is "Stupid voters elect stupid leaders".

It seems unreasonable to expect that stupid voter makes smart decisions. He might make one or two smart decisions, but he will make much more decisions that are stupid. Therefore, stupidity prevails in the decisions of stupid voters.

What is interesting about stupid people is:

Stupid people dont know that they are stupid.

Smart people know who is smart and that stupid people are stupid. 

However, stupid people dont know who is smart and who is stupid.

Therefore, when stupid people elect a smart leader, its merely an accident. Its not an intentional action.

If democracy is the best system of government, then the best system of government is the one where we have liars and idiots as presidents. Liars, I say, because you have to make false promises to become president. Idiots, I say, it was already explained that stupid voters make stupid decisions and elect mostly idiots.

How is democracy different from monarchy? Well, in monarchy, king elects an heir. Now, lets say you have a good smart king. He will elect a good smart heir intentionally. His good smart heir will elect another good smart heir.

In democracy, electing a good smart leader is difficult. 

Even if we say "Leader doesnt have to be smart. He just has to be good.",

Is it reasonable to expect that voters elect good leader? 

If we take a look at morality of the masses:

Most people break speed limit and endanger traffic.

Most people refuse to help the poor.

Most people use lies.

Most people are sexually immoral.

Most people want to get rich easily.

Most people bully and abuse others.

Most people divorce at the expense of their children.

Most people only do good if it benefits them.

Most people enjoy causing pain to others.

Can we expect from these people to elect a good moral leader? Probably not. So it is of no coincidence that every president elected by masses is sexually immoral, corrupt, thief or war criminal.

No, that would be bribe.
