In defense of the average person I'd have to say that in 2016 the average
person didn't want Donald Trump to be president, the average person wanted
Hillary Clinton to be president, but unfortunately thanks to our screwy
political system average people don't get to vote for the president, only
the 538 elite members of the electoral college do.  Average people rejected
Trump again in 2020 by a 7 million vote margin and fortunately this time
the electoral college rejected him too despite Trump's frantic attempts to
rig it in his favor; but if Trump had gotten just a few thousand more votes
in just a few states he would've won the presidency yet again. And that
would've been the last real presidential election in American history,
after that we'd just get the sort of "election" they have in North Korea
where the Dear Leader gets 99.99% of the vote.
