3. I watched a lady get elected to the Senate by waving a knife and talking about cutting off pig nuts.

GOP voters are vulnerable to images, in an exaggerated way.

Ask Karl Rove. As he said "We make our own reality, and the rest of you have to catch up". Pictures and memorable soundbites will trump (sorry) facts and reasoned analysis in many folks.

It's all about the ratings. A reality show about crazy rich women will command a far greater audience than a documentary about possible treatments for Covid-19.

Trump knows this. He is a con man.

And Roger Marshall knows it, too.

I never heard of this guy until just now, and here I am writing about him in a thread.
