"The people" didn't endorse or reject anything at the polls.
More denial, Karl? Here's some things the people rejected at the polls:
Smug, Condescending Billionaires:
Rapists:
Dressage:
Seriously, Dressage? Could you pick any more effeminate, elitist "sport" to engage in?
You're right. The people are "pissed, apathetic, discouraged and disaffected." And a majority of them voted for someone who understands their problems just a little bit better than dressage dude does.
