Only one in ten American voters want a bigger military budget. Congress keeps approving massive spending increases anyway, as it did when it voted for a nearly $1 trillion military budget last week.

What the american people want has almost no bearing on what the elites who control the american empire decide to do.
No major policy has matched public opinion since the end of the civil rights era. In gender, ethnicity and wealth, our representatives are not representative of us either.
It’s naive to think we live in a democracy.
What the people want isn’t always right either. Case in point: Trump.
Democracies work if the society invests in educating the voting public. This government does the opposite because they know smart = more likely left leaning.
I don’t think it’s correct to say the people want trump. Only ~30% of US adults voted for him.
