EC is there for a reason, it’s just not used for that reason

Imagine a candidate loyal to one of America’s enemies was voted in. The EC is there to stop that

Imagine a candidate loyal to one of America’s enemies was voted in.

A candidate who won the state-weighted national popularity contest would only be "one of America's enemies" if the weighting was wildly off. Even then, Said candidate wouldn't be the enemy of all Americans, just enemy of the states with the underweight majority.

And if half of America hates the other half? Then every president is loyal to one of America's enemies.

There's another option: at least half of America is incredibly ignorant about their candidate.

Idk. I think a lot of Trump guys are getting exactly what they want. And I think a lot of Biden guys really do want a Reagan Democrat on the throne.

Saying you were hoodwinked just lets you gracefully detach from a candidate once they lose popularity.
