Not shocking at all. I don't think it had anything to do with "his rhetoric" but rather that people are too trusting. You put someone on sodium pentothal and get them to agree with you doesn't mean your rhetoric is high IQ. What do you think abnormally high E women + abnormally low T men + soy + BPA plastics + aluminum in food + jew porn + extremely abnormal oxytocin use/function create? They create a heavily sedated, drugged person.
