Yeah, no. Googling something is not making an informed decision. Especially when you're basically getting fed lies and misinformation from modern media.
Democracy works great in a world that is much simpler. But in our modern technocracitc world filled with conflicting opinions, and contrasting facts. Most people rely on their first instinct and can't be bothered to measure the consequences of their decisions, and vote emotionally. It's an information overload, and unless you keep up with global events on a regular basis, you're horribly unprepared to make a rational decision. You need to measure the remifications of your vote, but most people don't because in their minds, their political decisions are so far removed from their daily lives.
And that's IF they bother to fact check at all. a large part of the global populous is incredibly stupid.

Bear in mind that these people VOTE
And it's like that in America like it's everywhere else.
Bear in mind that there are people in the US who are VOTING for Hillary Clinton. Despite having criminal charges pressed against her by the FBI.
Same as in Spain where people are voting for the PP despite having caught various party members literally stealing public money to buy houses in Miami for their secret lovers and such.
People make their deciusions emotionally, and backwards rationalize them to fit their narrative. That is fact, and it's not a good mix for politics.
>Aristocracy
Like hell it is.
Man isn't fit to rule. Power corrupts, unless you're dealing with a very wise and honorable person, and even then, they'll do it for glory.
But those days are long gone.
In our modern world, only machine is fit to rule over man. I yearn for that day to come given how dumb modern people are.
In the meantime. Democracy needs some drastic changes. Voting should be by merit, not age.
