The Loud As*hole is Winning.

I like trump. He’s the most entertaining thing to ever happen to politics. We can go back and forth on his fitness for being president for days, but I want to talk about why he got to where he is.

Never before in history has a president been so outspoken about issues while sitting on a toilet. He’s bashed leaders of the world and let employees go while sitting on what I would suspect to be a golden plated throne.

Surely this man is not the best America could come up with, to make decisions for the people of the most powerful country in the world.

In a place that has created incredible minds such as Steve Jobs, Benjamin Franklin, Martin Luther King Jr., Bill Gates, (the list could go on forever) who have all helped improve our planet in incredible ways, America decided to pick this guy to orchestrate them. Why?

Because the loud asshole wins.

Mark Turnbull put it right in his leaked videos during the Cambridge Analytica scandal.

It’s no good fighting an election campaign on the facts, because actually it’s all about emotions

It doesn’t matter that there is likely someone better than Trump to make the decisions for America, because Trump evoked the right emotions in enough people to vote for him.

Our society promotes the loud asshole on social medias like Facebook and Twitter. When a person has a large “following”, they can get their message out to enough people rather quickly, and the more radical their message, the more engagement they receive, thus increasing their following further.

What are we going to do to put the “Steve Jobs” of America into that position of power?

I have no idea.

The good news though, is that I think a shift away from promoting the loud asshole has started.

The younger generation is flocking to apps like Snapchat instead of Twitter. Snapchat seems to encourage you more to share with your friends rather than the entire planet.

Twitter wants to make sure that everyone and their therapist can hear your 280 character mental mishap.
