    It's not about letting stupid people vote, it's about seeing a lot of fictional characters/dead people vote. Admittedly my experience is limited, but I don't recall any of these "voters" voting for a conservative candidate(regardless of party affiliation).

    I don't have access to it anymore, but a friend of mine in South Africa collects old dictionaries and encyclopedias, and he had an old Oxford Dictionary that had that definition (or it could have been "ugly but adorable" or something like that)
    Ah.

    That's alright, as your mate I will tell you when it's time to get a tinfoil hat.
    Who in their right mind is not wearing a tin foil hat these days?

      Whelp, the revolution had a hiccup. The projected attendance of 10,000,000 by organizers for the mass rally fell short by about 9,999,850; to no surprise at all to anyone.

      Not even the organizers were genuinely expecting the numbers they were touting beforehand, I suspect. These people are really over the top delusional on lots of things; but even so I think their transparently silly projections beforehand were a (successful) attempt to get a bit of air play and visibility that the rally could not hope to manage by itself.
