Which event has shown?
I imagine they're talking about the recent US election, for one. For pretty much the whole campaign, including primaries, everyone pointed out all the ways in which Trump was a terrible, completely unsuitable candidate, and he won anyway.
- babyrainbow 10y agoI guessed that much. But that does not prove anything. US election cannot be compared to this. That is completely ridiculous. Electing your leader is a very subjective, personal thing. Throwing your garbage out and driving an SUV is not. People does not actually care about doing any of those things. They care about fitting in and looking cool. Change that and you can change everything.
