The average Americans reads on a 6th grade level.
This is why Democrats can’t win because they’re assuming Americans read and comprehend on the college level.
Get a focus group of 10 year olds and test your message. If the 10 year olds can easily understand it, that’s the message you go with.

I read an article recently that said tRump speaks on a 5th grade reading level.
That would account for his base and why they believe every lie he spits out.
They’re not researching or fact checking. They’re on the same reading level.
The rest of his loyalists are just corrupt.

You know that OU student who was failed by her professor for getting all biblical in her paper? When you read the actual article she was assigned to respond to, it becomes pretty fucking clear that she didn't do the assignment. She didn't respond to it. She wrote her own bullshit.
