At first I thought he said “… but the people are the target.” Listening more carefully I’m pretty sure he said, “… but the people are retarded.”
Democracy basically means “mob rule.” The fact that “the mob” is retarded (by true definition) is unfortunately a fact. That’s why it’s so important to know we are constitutional republic that uses a democratic process to select our officials, but in actuality it’s a very small number of them, the majority are appointed, which it turns out is where the real power is. Heaven help us.
