Manipulating the Hoopleheads and how to spot one

We have a neighbor who purchased a six thousand dollar fire alarm system. We went to the same presentation the neighbor did. The presentation was put together just like a Trump rally. Fear was the main selling point. Your house was going to catch fire so quickly you could not get out. That was the main story. Next the idea that conventional smoke alarms were in effective. Over and over you were told normal smoke alarms fail 55 percent of the time. Then of course there were the scary stories and pictures. It worked on the Hooples. They purchase what was a disguised fire alarm that was actually pretty much the same as any alarm you could buy for a fraction of the cost. If you researched how the zippity do da alarm worked you found it was based on the same physics and principle of any normal alarm system. Of course it added some bells and whistles. The zippity do da alarm would notify you by phone if your house was on fire, but of course if your house was on fire and you were away, more than likely you would get a call. 

When you looked at the presentation closely it was a master class on how to manipulate Hoopleheads. There were about fifteen people at the steak and lobster dinner for the presentation. If the ringmaster could just get three dingers to spend six thousand dollars for five hundred dollars worth of equipment she was home free. 

At one time Kadizzle was in high school. He sold vacuum cleaners. The actual cost of the vacuum cleaner was forty dollars, back then we sold them to the Hooples for 270 dollars. The presentation to trick the Hooples was carefully crafted by psychologist. The Hooples were actually told they would get the vacuum cleaner for free. All they had to do was send us to other Hooples who would buy the vacuum. It never worked out and the Hooples were stuck with payments for the vacuum cleaner. Bilking Hooples is an art as old as selling snake oil, or religion. You have to play on the fear of a Hoople. Someone is out to get you. With vacuum cleaners it was dirt. There is dirt everywhere, and your vacuum is not getting the dirt. The Hoople doesn't know it, but you can always get dirt from a carpet, no matter how many times you clean it, so it is easy to convince a Hoople their current vacuum is not working. 

Trump has mastered making Hooples dance. Hooples love a good scary story full of lies, and evil doers. In Trump's case it is witches. There are a lot of witches, and the witch hunters are after Trump. "It's a witch hunt " is all Trump has to tell the Hooples and if that doesn't work just say " Fake news".

How can you spot a Hoople? Hooples live in fear. If you drive into a gated community, or one where every home is surrounded by a wall you more than likely are in Hoople land. Guns, every Hoople has a gun, and a gun safe. An American flag on a pole is a good sign you got a Hoople on you hands. A good Hoople will not drive a foreign car. Jesus stickers, are a sure sign. A goofy hat is a dead giveaway. A Trump had leaves no doubt, but a veterans hat, or any military hat beware. Hooples like clubs, churches, and Fox News. Hooples fear the government. Hooples distrust everyone, but the people they should distrust like Trump.
