America Great again!

I don't know what that means.

I know you don't, and that's part of the problem.

You presumably disagree with most Trump voters on, for example, immigration.

If you thought along the lines, I disagree with them, but I can understand where they're coming from and empathize with them to a degree, then you'd have a chance of winning them over.

If you just write them off as stupid and/or evil, you'll never reach them.

I have the opposite view. Not about all of those people but about many of them.

When it comes to stupidity... well, it's very hard to underestimate how stupid people can be.

Carlo Maria Cipolla, an economic historian, is famous for his essays about human stupidity, such as "The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity". He viewed stupid people as a group, more powerful by far than major organizations such as the Mafia and the industrial complex, which without regulations, leaders or manifesto nonetheless manages to operate to great effect and with incredible coordination.

These are Cipolla's five fundamental laws of stupidity:

1. Always and inevitably each of us underestimates the number of stupid individuals in circulation.
2. The probability that a given person is stupid is independent of any other characteristic possessed by that person.
3. A person is stupid if they cause damage to another person or group of people without experiencing personal gain, or even worse causing damage to themselves in the process.
4. Non-stupid people always underestimate the harmful potential of stupid people; they constantly forget that at any time anywhere, and in any circumstance, dealing with or associating themselves with stupid individuals invariably constitutes a costly error.
5. A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person there is.

Intentional stupidity cannot be convinced or won over. We need to make sure we don't waste our time trying to convince the unconvinceable and instead try to convince the undecided voters, that's what we need to do.
