You Can't Fight Stupid With Smart

If you voted for Trump, well, I'm sorry--for all of us--that you're so stupid. Now you can stop reading. This rant is intended for those of you reeling in disbelief and asking yourself, "How could people be so stupid?" Ah, the mystery of life.... Now get over it, but don't forget it. In fact, learn it well or you'll lose again to a wiser fool the next time around. 
Trump won because logic loses to emotion every time. Sales 101 begins with finding out what people want and then promising you can deliver it, even if it means promising things you can't deliver. This is, after all, why Bernie Sanders was so popular and is now being widely proclaimed as the candidate who stood a better chance against Trump. Ah, be careful. Your brain may be telling you, "Bernie was too far to the Left.... His proposals are unrealistic, unaffordable, naive..." Stop those logical thoughts at once. Bernie knew that people are stupid and embraced it. Promise them everything and the people will love you. Put aside logical coherence. Don't worry about truth. Never mind facts. If you want to win again, tell the people what they want to hear. Appeal to their prejudices and greed. Don't worry, once elected, you can do whatever you want
