24. This wasn't rambling insanity at all, but the kind of hyperbolae he uses frustratingly effectively...

...all the time.

And it is hyperbolae in the true sense that it isn't meant to be taken literally, but it tells many people that those tree-hugging liberals are taking away something you like--which is partially rooted in truth since there are many places where water resources need to be carefully managed.

But the sad fact is that this sort of hyperbolic rhetoric has worked for him. And there is not a good converse hyperbolae that would have the same impact, so you don't hear Democrats out there even trying to counter those things really. Comedians may make fun of what he says, but there are lots of people that hear exactly what he wants them to hear--while so many on our side pretend they can't even make sense of it.
