General Discussion

I see a lot of posts suggesting "..this or that lost the election." But what is really scary for people - especially educated people to admit
is that some problems don't have a solution that can be fixed with better messaging. For example, a poster above said that Fox would lose its viewers if if went factual. That's true because Fox viewers want to be lied to about the causes and solutions to their pain (whatever the source). Most if not all of them don't want to change the way they think and prefer to blame others for their problems. Moreover, many look at elections like football games; they vote for their team no matter what, and fail to consider the real life consequences. So this is a deep set cultural problem of low curiosity, low expectations, denial and belief in a make believe world with judgment (and justice) after death. To a degree, portions of the electorate are quite medieval in mindset. Childlike minds are only charming in a child. And for childlike minds, the only teacher is experience not persuasion.
