[Resistance Is Futile]

The degree of vitrol leveled at the original poster is remarkable. It is fundamentally obvious that the vast majority of the population belongs to the shallow end of the gene pool. Just look at how many people moved, in the space of a week, from accepting the Sept 11-Iraq connection to accepting that Chimpy never, ever suggested such a thing. The electorate is stupid. It's not polite to say so, but it's the truth.

As this applies to fighting elections, the key is not, as many here have incorrectly assumed, to rub the electorate's nose in its stupidity and assert some kind of right to 'take care' of them for their own good but rather to slant election propaganda to a level the masses can understand. The masses do not care about issues that cannot be expressed in soundbites and campaign strategies must reflect this.

The masses do need members of an elite to take care of them but the absolute last thing to do is tell them that to their faces.
