I always wonder whether it's kinda nice to be this dumb.

"Look how stupid I am" is an effective tactic with a long, venerable history. In 2020, over 30 million Americans demonstrated that they are not only astoundingly ignorant, but incapable of critical thought and living in fear of knowledge and the knowledgeable. Southerners, in particular, don't vote for anyone who looks like they "think they're better than me."

To gain the support of such people, you confirm their prejudices, preferably with frequent grammatical errors. Some of us remember Jess Helms standing before Congress pretending to be unable to pronounce the word "anus." He was deadly in his effectiveness.

Politicians speak to manipulate their audience, not communicate information. Never assume they are revealing who they are.

Always accuse your enemy of the wrongs you plan to commit, preferably before you commit them. Put them on the defensive before you give them anything they can attack. It traps them in the position of "I'm not a poo poo head! You're the poo poo head!" It's a devastating public relations tactic.

It's one of Trump's favorite tricks – unsurprising, given that it's enabled a successful criminal career for more than half a century. It's so effective that dozens of other Republicans are swimming in his bow wave far better than they could on their own.
