Precisely. They were making a big stink about whether or not electors would even be "faithful" to Trump, yet it was Clinton who most of the defecting electors chose to defect from.
Correct. They don't care. They don't like The Constitution; it gets in their way. They want to be outwardly governed instead of inwardly governed. They want to be slaves rather than to be free.
That's one way to "dumb it down" in a general sense, but by the sounds of it, even that doesn't do the trick...
If these people don't like our federated republic, and instead want fascism by oligarchy, then there are plenty of other countries to choose from...
It's not really dumbing it down. They don't understand why the system we have is in place nor how it works. Maybe the grades/GPA example is too hard for them to understand.
