Need a plate of generic, insipid platitudes with a giant helping of bad science and misogyny?

I used to like him. I fell for the crap. To my 16 year old brain what he said made a lot of sense. He had a handful of good points, and it made me believe the rest of the shit he peddled.
I see him now, I look back on how I hung onto his words like a lost lamb, and I can only facepalm.
I realised that the only thing he is good at is marketing, not psychology...
But by that logic, there's a terrifying number of adults who also shouldn't vote.
How so? An adult has a fully-functioning brain, unlike a 16-year-old.
Anyone above 65 for example.
Even dementia patients still have right to vote.
And we keep that in check how? I ask because I've never seen it done successfully and sustainably - even well intentioned autocracies lead to terrible outcomes in pretty short order.
