I really didn't explain it yet. Did I? Let me try this.
The battle is asymmetric. One side, Trump, is using fear. The other side, Scientific American, is using logic.
Fear actually gets voters off their couches and into the voting booth.
Logic gets people to nod their heads, but doesn't translate into actual votes.

- kangnkodos 6y agoHaha. I can't imagine them jumping on the fear bandwagon.
