He knows his voters [View all]

His voters hear this rambling from a few minutes ago and hear something appealing:
"I oppose somebody, and for some reason the voters almost always seem to go along with me, because they know I'm working hard. I have a nice high IQ. They like that, you know? We like high IQ people...that's why we have the hat. 'Trump was right about everything.'"

His voters think this is how high IQ people talk. They hear him saying he is high IQ and they accept it. They don't need facts, or evidence. They want it simple. They want to be on the side of high IQ people and they really believe that supporting him is doing that.

I use this example to frame the argument, which did not originate with me, that ordinary responses full of facts and figures and ideas will not work with these people. Some of them we will never reach. But if we can scrape off just a few by using much more simple and blunt language that would be enough. He has never had the support of the majority.
