The US is a plutocracy: it's a country governed largely by the rich, through lobbying, gerrymandering, and a constant information war to convert the least intelligent voters to their side. There's a reason why people who are bad at evaluating facts objectively and often believe in conspiracy theories, and also those who are rich, tend to vote for one particular side.
Most of us believe it's not how it should be.
And it's definitely not what the law says it is.
King (Martin, not Rodney) said[1] "[a]ll we say to America is to be true to what you said on paper".
Kennedy suggested[2] a world "where the strong are just and the weak secure and the peace preserved".
If he were alive today, I'm sure JFK would have half a mind to ask "how could you elect such a schoolyahd president?"
