Some folks aren’t impressed by rigorous logic, documented facts, and verbal precision. They prefer emotive speech that strikes the chord, scratches the itch, or ignites the fire. They aren’t thinkers. They feel their way through life. Consider the music they listen to, the churches they attend, the preaching they hear (if they go and if they listen), and the conversations they have. How could anyone be surprised at how Donald Trump resonates with these people? He speaks their language. He’s one of them. He’s a billionaire with the same earthy manners as Bubba from the neighborhood tavern. He’ll stick it to those liberal know-it-alls, you know, the cerebral sissies in the government who have screwed up the economy, depressed wages, exported jobs, and let America be dissed all over the world.
I’m not at all surprised at his popularity. Yes, he’s a demagogue. That’s the kind of leader folks are looking for.
