I’ve been waiting to see my countrymen vote in their own best interests for my entire life. I’d be shocked if they started doing it now.

We are astonishingly bad at understanding abstraction. We understand that if Kevin shows up at our house and punches us in the face, we should avoid Kevin. But once you put a layer of abstraction between Kevin and the broken nose, we suddenly become baffled about how this could happen, and then we vote for Kevin.
