Go out and find the average American, and peer into their brain bucket to see what information they take in on an average day.

Less than five minutes reading a newspaper.
Over two hours listening to a radio.
Over three hours watching TV.
Over four hours surfing on a computer/smartphone.
Hasn't read a book in over a year.

This means the below average person hasn't read a book in close to five years, gets all their news in snippets while eating dinner, and considers an intellectual conversation to be complaining about what illegal immigrants get, while ignoring what their handouts are.

Votes from the lower end of the gene pool count just as much as college educated, job creating votes.

A lot get their information through a Facebook filter imbedded in their "smart phone."

Yes, which the Trump side took huge advantage of via fake "news". Facebook needs to do a far better job of filtering out this garbage; so many stupid, uninformed people out there who sadly are allowed to vote.
