One thing GOP and specially Trump do very well is that they have the finger on the pulse of the dumbest and most ignorant people of the country, and by repetition of lies and simple imagery, they create a powerful anger which drives these nutjobs to vote against their own self interest and against the interests of the country.
They think like the dumbest creeps. You and I can’t get down to that level and get confused on how it works. But it does.
The only way to counter this is for Dems to have a decent turn out. Otherwise the dumbest and the most deplorable will continue to set the policy for the majority of us.
