How to Succeed in Politics Without Really Trying

  1. Have an opinion on everything, even the subjects you haven’t heard of before. A quick Google search will provide all the information you need to know about highly complicated material that people spend years studying.
  2. Give your opinion so loudly that everyone around you goes deaf. Make sure everybody in a five-mile radius can hear what you’re saying. Then say it again. With a megaphone.
  3. Insult everybody who disagrees with you. That’s the only way they’ll see how right you are. They’ll eventually convert to your side.
  4. Consider Frank and Alice Underwood to be #goals. If you don’t want a relationship like Frank and Alice’s, then you don’t really want to work in politics.
  5. Refuse to compromise on anything.
  6. Tweet every five minutes to stay relevant. Then retweet yourself so everybody knows exactly where you stand. Bonus points if you give an insulting nickname to your public enemy number one in the form of a #hashtag.
  7. Support someone just because they have an important title. It’s been proven countless times over the course of humanity that someone’s title is directly proportional to how much they know and how right they are on an area.
  8. Talk to everyone like they’re stupid. 
  9. Only watch the news station that aligns with your political leaning. You should never watch a news station with a different bias to get other perspectives on an issue. Heaven forbid you try to prevent political tunnel vision.
