Media pundits are almost pulling their hair out to find the appeal of Donald Trump. Many different proposals have been made so far.
For some, it is a sign of backlash against political correctness of the society, and many others believe that it is coming from the frustration among voters about the political system. I personally find only one reason why people support him. Here is the secret: many people actually like his proposals.
Banning Muslims from entering the country may sound like a crazy idea to some, but many actually see it as necessary to protect the nation. The hatred for Muslims in the country is not something new that Donald Trump created. In a recent Gallup poll, 38 percent of the country said that they will not vote for a well-qualified Muslim candidate.
When Donald Trump says that vaccine causes autism, people in the medical community laughed it off, but 6 percent of Americans agree with Donald Trump while the 52 percent are unsure whether vaccines are related to autism or not.
The Washington pundits may scratch their heads about the process of deporting tens of millions people, but 28 percent of Americans actually see it as a viable solution.
Simply put, the media is overestimating the knowledge of average voters. According to one Annenberg Public Policy Center survey, only 36 percent of the people can name the three branches of the U.S. government while 35 percent cannot even name a single one.
When so many people are living without any knowledge about the government, is it really hard to imagine someone like Trump winning the election?
