Stupid people don't ask questions.
Stupid people instantly reject any information that conflicts with what they already believe.
Stupid people are quick to believe nonsense, because they are incapable of analyzing things in general.
Stupid people like simple statements, rather than explanations.
Stupid people accept pretty much any information as true from public figures.
Stupid people are often heavily biased, so reinforcing their biases makes them trust you.
Stupid people think simple statements are more true than complex ones.
Stupid people are afraid of things they do not understand, so if they understand you they believe you.
Stupid people are insulted if you try to explain why they are incorrect.
Stupid people are fans of political figures.
Stupid people believe what their fan idols tell them.
The GQP leadership understands all this and make as much use of it as possible. That's why people believe things like "Trump Won."
