Grab people randomly off the street and start asking questions you’ll get a lot of agreement, mostly because “yes” is the answer most like to make the person leave you alone so you can go about your business.
Hannity used to send a staffer out to do man-in-the-street interviews like this.The form was:
- 3 pop culture questions. The usually aced those.
- 3 REALLY basic US Government/civics questions, like ‘who’s the Vice President of the United States. Name the three branches of government’ that kind of easy. Stumped or incorrect, every time.
- ‘Who’d you vote for?’ Democrats, every time.
