Our founding fathers saw through that which is why we have the quite fair, Electoral College.
Which is why they set up a system designed to keep privileged, white males in power. It's worked hundreds of years, if you're a privileged white male.
I'm not usually a fan of the Hawaiian Monarchy, but it was powerful white men who conducted the overthrow of a non-white woman. They just couldn't stand to have a woman in charge. It took another hundred years before non-white women in power became normalized. The Electoral College is the last bastion for white authority and entitlement.
