And the key is telling people what they want to hear.
Any informed voter, any rational voter, can listen to Trump for a few minutes and know that Trump has nothing to say about anything. His speech is a rambling collection of memes and slogans, wrapped in racism.
But when he tells the average Trump voter that he will make America great again, he is telling that voter exactly what the voter wants to hear.
The racist Trump voter will hear Trump's open racism, and respond to that.
The misogynistic Trump voter will recognize Trump's brutal misogyny, and respond to that.
The greedy 1% of Trump voters will recognize a fellow sociopath.
He is not really deceiving too many people. He is acting and speaking the way that they would love to act and speak.

(42,641 posts)We must vote in large numbers.
We must convince the reluctant voters, and the non-voters, and the casual voters.
We must vote again in 2022. We know what happened when voting dropped off in 2010.
We must educate our neighbors, and family members, especially the younger voters.
And if Biden is President, he must make no small plans. We need bold, transformative leadership to pass the laws we need to reign in the imperial Presidency.

Always reminded of those Pitchmen running Timeshare Scams when one travels to Orlando and here in Vegas. Whole lot of Gish Gallop and zero facts.
