Which we do.
I can't blame the voters for Trump being elected, because it was instead an incompetent Electoral College that gave us the retard. However, as a country of late, we do seem to have a problem not understanding how bad Republican presidents are for us. We do great when we have a Democrat in the White House, and then when the next election rolls around it is as though people have lost sight of how the previous Republican destroyed the country and all too merrily elect another Republican as though somehow this time things will be different.
