This stubborn resistance to accepting reality is a major failure of democrats and anti-Trumpers. The average American reads at a 6th grade level. They will continue to vote whether you or I like it or not. If they see the word bureaucracy the way it’s used in this headline, they will probably be happy to hear it.

Well, yeah, but said morons are running things.
