Yes, but that isn't intended consequence or even expected outcome. Current system has flaws, but it isn't designed to crank out Trumps. I am afraid if we turn Government into like-farming with direct issue voting it will produce Trump-like results.

What I would like to see is issue voting by objective, engaged, and educated voters. That would disqualify too many people, and short of impartial AI, I don't see how qualification process can be made impartial.

For example, Bob is a farmer. He knows a lot about farming. He gets to vote on farming issues. Bob doesn't know much about financial system. He doesn't get to vote on finance issues that don't impact farming. However, Bob really wants to have a say in financial issues. He take a combination of community college and online courses about finances. He now can vote on finance issues.
