A non-negligible part of the right's political success rests on the insight that something being "annoying" is a far more motivating factor for certain voters than any objective analysis of its actual impact on them would suggest it should be.

The Right can only stay in power through bullshit and convincing a workable majority of adults to vote against their best interests. Thats why they're so good at it

It's not new "emotion" driven advertising has been around for ages. See the "Daisy Girl" Commercial by LBJ. People are not and never have been "Rational". A fact known to economists to their eternal irritation forever.

"Certain voters" are not called 'hard of thinking' without reason, while in most cases the political leaders on the 'right' are at least disingenuous/liars to manipulate the hard of thinking.

editor suggested rewrite: part of the rights political success is that being "annoying" motivates more voters, something that has been known for a long time

I'm glad Andy and Wupert have my back tbh. I'm one of those guys pushing prams around trying to navigate e-bike swarms before my parking expires. It'll be a toss up between the two.
