25% of Americans are flat out insane. They will believe anything no matter what it is. If you give them a little bit of encouragement, they will almost kill for their insane beliefs.
If you play to them, you'll have the most loyal following you could ever dream of.
Politicians are starting to figure this out as well. With voter turn out of around 45%, if you capture the "insane" voters, you will win.
Our Democracy is starting to be controlled by the insane 25% of the population because media outlets and politicians are finding that pandering to them is the most successful business model. It's not really a Republican or Democrat thing anymore. It's the insane versus the rational. Rational people don't sit and listen to radio hosts for hours a day to get fired up and email propaganda videos back and forth all day long, so they are less passionate.
Nobody will show up to a "common sense" rally that promotes rational, pragmatic solutions....lol.
