@YoMomz The observation in this quote is accurate. Even if your position is logically untenable, (e.g. Socialism being sound economics) the masses will lean toward it over a logically sound argument by someone whose delivery is gentle and even-handed when your own delivery is fiery and full of strength, assuming your position does not sound as though it directly contradicts their perceived self-interests. Most people don't want to be responsible for themselves because they're weak comparatively.
