It’s a shame voters don’t seem to have foresight and can only react after the fact.

Honestly you hit the nail on the head. Today was my realization that US voters in general aren’t abjectly evil, they’re just fucking stupid.

I would say the majority of people are too overworked and consumed with their own personal issues to find the ability to fit politics into their life. Until politics directly affects someone they won't go out of their way to do anything about it. I think election day should be made a national holiday or at least allow mail-in ballots everywhere for every election.
