    Yeah but you can’t use big words like pernicious with them, remember they can’t read and many have lead poisoning so stick to Dr Seuss level language or lower.

      This is sadly true. A big reason why Republicans win is because they use quick simple catchphrases “Repeal and Replace!” “America First!” “Men don’t belong in women’s sports!”, even if it’s bullshit, the average voter gets some meaning from that.

      Democrats try to be more accurate, and are just heard as “Nerd shit”
