Easy Predictions

It took me years, but I finally realized that the easy way to predict the outcome of elections is to assume that 65+% of America has neither thought nor rationality, but instead runs by reductionist memes, virtue signalling, and feelgoodery. The only time sanity breaks through is when the vote regards an issue rather than a trained monkey rabid squirrel feelgood politician, and one which gets to what people actually, actively believe in. Even then it's no guarantee, but a wild card.

Unfortunately, this means I know with about 80% certainty who the next U.S. President will be. God help us.

Update, just in case anyone was wondering:
I was wrong.
With political predictions, I usually am.
