Today, we held an intriguing discussion over the 2016 election.
We discussed primarily, why and how Donald Trump won the election. We fell onto the topic of social media, and how Trump has a significantly bigger presence on it. However, that led me to think about propaganda as a whole, outside of social media.
Regardless of whether we like Trump or not, he undeniably is brilliant with motivation.
Trump simply excels at it. His slogan "make America great again" appeals to millions of voters, and gives them a common phrase to unite under. Additionally, his extremely hyped up rallies are simply genius, he brings people together in a way that few world leaders have been able to in the past. He makes voters feel genuinely interested in him and what he stands for.
On the other hand, Hilary has no slogan, no hats with a slogan, and nowhere near the kind of hype that trump has behind him. Hilary voters are generally not thrilled to vote for her the same way that trump voters are excited to vote for him.
And that's a key difference between the two, and a huge reason why Donald won. He created excitement like never before.
