The two are not mutually exclusive.
One doesn't need to fully understand something to ignore it and work to undo it. Someone doesn't need to understand how a house was built in order to drive a bulldozer through it.

Pedantically, you’re in the right. Realistically? It’s trying to normalize and infantilize the choices of a well thought out adult who wants to change the rules of power so he can carry out his plans.
I’m sorry, but you don’t stop someone like Putin from 25 years of despotic rule who has everyone thrown out of windows or stops coup attempts by sending troops to threaten to execute those soldier’s families en masse if they don’t immediately stand down and their leader surrender by writing it off as ‘he’s so CHILDISH and doesn’t understand how nice and fair and properly things should be done’.
Trump’s model is Putin, not some 12 yr old.
