“Thinkers are always outnumbered by the ignorant by some factor beyond calculation.”
You are half right. The dumb will most likely inherently outnumber the smart. A democratic society, however, depends on only a sufficient number of individuals to save it. America can currently be saved if its more responsible citizens carry out their responsibilities. Is it fair that so much of the burden falls on their shoulders? No, but who ever promised you a fair world?
