The problem with growing up in a middle class household

The problem is rather simple: 


It’s how Kamala starts the answer to any question she’s asked. 


Literally.


Any. 


Question.  


Hey Kamala, how will your economy be different from Biden’s?


“I grew up in a middle class household.” 


Kamala, what’s your stance on abortion?


“I grew up in a middle class household.” 


Wait, Kamala - how is it possible that Biden is fit to be president when he’s not fit to run for re-election—and how could you be around him without noticing his steep mental decline sooner?


“I grew up in a middle class household.” 


Kamala, why do round pizzas come in square boxes? 


“I grew up in a middle class household.” 


I’m writing this a few weeks out from the election, so I have no idea how it will actually shake out. But if Kamala pulls the upset (which is more of Trump losing than Kamala and the deep state winning in my humble, and accurate, opinion), you can bet your sweet arse and mispronounce her name that she’ll start her inauguration speech with: 


“I grew up in a middle class household.” 


She just reeks of inauthenticity. 


That’s one of the biggest reasons she’s running perhaps one of the most anti-persuasive political campaigns of modern times. Even Biden, who they hid because of the obvious and steep decline of mental acuity, wasn’t as anti-persuasive as Kamala. 


It’s gotten to the point where her polling numbers fall after every interview she does. 


She’s brutally unlikeable. 


And while there are many reasons for this, her inauthenticity ranks highest. It also seeps into almost every reason too. For example, she doesn’t have real policies because she’s so inauthentic she doesn’t have views. 


Alas, this ain’t a political email. I don’t even vote. 


But Kamala does offer a powerful persuasion lesson for all of us to profit from:


Be authentic. 


Or, at least, don’t be inauthentic. 


Just that alone will make you more likable, more interesting, and yes, more persuasive. 


Which means your will emails get opened, read, and bought from more often. 


(Assuming that you’ve been studying and implementing every email I’ve sent ya over the past few years.) 


But if’n you need my help, just hit reply, and we can jump on a quick call to discuss your email strategy, figure out what’s working and not working, then craft a strategy where we laugh ourselves to the Brinks truck every day. 


(Who knows, we might just need all this extra loot if Kamala wins and starts WWIII when Putin mispronounces her name.) 


Best to be prepared by hitting reply.
