...about the judicial "doctrine" of originalism is an overriding objective and intent - explicitly so - of the founding fathers in the constitution was exactly to prevent someone like Trump doing exactly what Trump has done.

The whole of American society has failed, when you get down to it. Voters, media, legislature, judiciary, executive... just utterly broken.

The US was designed for an electorate only made up of relatively educated male landowners.

I don't think any system can survive allowing plebs to vote.

Unlimited democracy does not work with the current human IQ distribution.

"Unlimited democracy does not work with the current human IQ distribution."

Free market economies either, right?

If you let stupid people spend their own money, disaster is unavoidable.

The system was actually designed for about the population on today's Norway. It has nothing to do with IQ, land ownership, or education. The voting mass in the US was poor as shit and ignorant as hell by today's standards.

Its does not work because there are too many of you pretending to do democracy at the national level.

May I suggest dissolution of union?

As for the current human IQ distribution. It is destributed around 100 by definition. Peak intelligence relatively is generation X. We are smarter than those before and after.

The greatest generation had an average IQ of 100 in their time. Give them todays test and they would average about 85. It gets worse the further back you go. The greatest generation was way smarter than their grandparents.

Lol read Jefferson and Franklin, and dare I say, Adams. Much more intelligent than modern Norwegians. Vastly.
