The American people don’t know what they want. The reason is too many don’t know how government operates and what is dangerous or good.

And as stated before…we have a representative government. It is representative of our overall ignorance and those that vote jumping around to try to find something they don’t seem to have a clue what it is they need.

I think there are a lot of people who want vastly different things. We see on issues like immigration. Those of us in states most effected by immigration (port and border states, with large cities) tend to want more immigration. Those furthest away from immigration tend to want less immigration.

My gut says that on most issues there’s 40-50% that want one thing, probably 35-45% that want something else, and then a middle group of 5-30% that is somewhere in between. That is a problem when our system of government is designed to generate consensus on issues as much as possible.
