Mine has to be the kind of laws that get passed. Where they are titled in such tongue-in-cheek fashions that just slaps you in the face in a metaphorical way. Like how laws such as the Patriot Act and Freedom Act got to be passed the way they are. They sound like they’re to uphold the values of what the USA should be about.
However, you take a closer look into the wording and intent of the laws themselves, they are anything but against what those values should be about. We see this all of the time when bills get drafted and they come up with all of these similar-sounding names to pass them with. And there are still people out there who probably believe that there is good intent just by the name alone.
The large portion of people are stupid and ignorant, which means that democracy is inherently flawed because they can be manipulated so easily.
Smart informed people can be manipulated as well.
It’s a flaw in how our brains have evolved. (Evolution is such a random bitch of a force, just look at me anthropomorphize her while typing on a QWERTY keyboard specifically designed to slow me down!)
We need to account for it instead of using it against ourselves.
