[@GoblinKnightLeo]

@@insAneTunA Erm, no. America has never elected a stupid President. Stupid Congressmen, yes - the comparatively limited pool of voters they have to face makes this more feasible. Senators, no. And Presidents definitely not. The Presidential average IQ _has_ declined over time - along with that of the population - but Trump fits comfortably in the high-120 range along with his predecessors of the last half-century. Pathologizing one's opponents as stupid is a poor strategic move when its used as an excuse to avoid confronting their actual ideas and arguments.

People acknowledge your sound design to be a key to the success of your mouse videos. I think it's because it reminds people from Gen Y of early computer "games" that were more like interactive pictures. The entire sound design really reminds me of them.
