Why Presidential Speeches Are Getting "Dumber"

The reading levels of American presidential speeches have been on a steady decline since the 1920's. The answer has less to do with the president and more to do with who they are speaking to.

    It's not that common people were speaking at a 20th grade level back then. Presidents just had to shift over to appealing and communicating with the general public, who tend to have lower reading and comprehension levels and just want someone relatable. And in more recent times, media consumption has become more accessible and involved towards short and simple content.

    @@luxinvictus9018 yeah, I'm gonna have to call bullshit on that one. These developments have been running in parallel in the entire anglophone world. Compare speeches of Victorian era PMs to those of Churchill. Then Churchill's to Thatcher's and John Major's. And then those to more modern PMs' like David Cameron's or Boris Johnson's. Same thing in Canada and Australia. Politicians are adjusting for a broader coalition of voters and a more politically active and enfranchised populace. This is definitely not exclusive to America, nor is it exclusive to the English language. Also significant to note, your average Brit or Australian walking down the streets of Sunderland or Adelaide is not speaking a more sophisticated or erudite variety of English than an American walking down the streets of Philly or Los Angeles.

Usually you can tell when you ask someone to become specific about a topic close to them, weather they truly understand it and are capable of discussing it or just have a vague idea of it and are dancing arround their limited intellect. In theory this will do little to understand their actual intelligence but in pracice it usually enda up giving you a good idea of how well they can conceal their lack of real knowledge. This in return grants you at least an understanding of their verbal abilities on which one is able to continue the research. In short: money can buy access to many fancy words but using then is a different matter.

    This cringe kid is trying so hard to justify his lack of intelligence. The quote is "if you can't explain something simply, then you don't fully understand it". The scope of that encompasses all nuanced topics and its not meant to be taken literally, but to deliberate Oc-cams razor; that all complicated discussions may have a simple answer or explanation, we just need to find it. But its usually nitwits like you who misinterpret this as "i dont pass bowel movements, i take a shit, because i'm smarter". When Richard Feynman was asked for a brief quote of what he won the Nobel for, he said if it could be summarized in a sentence, it wouldn't be worth the prize. But when asked to explain the spin-statistics theorem in an undergraduate lecture he said he couldn't reduce it to the undergraduate level, so we don't understand it well enough. BTW taking something at its simplest form and figuring out the complexities is basically reverse engineering, and we both know the average human isnt capable of that more than they could explain Einsteins relativity theory simplistically.

    @@ebonydarkness Words with more syllables are deprecated in common speech - shorter ones are used most of the time unless there is no relevant equivalent. Thus, those longer and rarer words aren’t as readily understood by most. I don’t mean that they aren’t understood at all, just that it requires more processing power while words and expressions that are commonly used don’t. Add the sentence length factor on top of that and you’ll quickly realize that the processing power required goes up exponentially as the sentence drags (and that’s even truer orally since you can’t just go back to reread) on and on and on without leaving a break to actually digest its content - it just keeps going, throwing new ideas and sometimes even losing its initial purpose and/or structure ; and that’s something that we can see a lot with Trump for instance : he rarely ever finishes his sentences, instead those are disguised run-on sentences that cut each other off while losing more and more structure and intelligibility each time.

    "You use too many big words. Do you think you're better than me?" I've gotten that. (Mom was a scrabble fiend and a major reader, so we all got a pretty serious vocabulary.) As for the rest, I think making your speeches more accessible is an overall good, but I think there is a bottom limit. You can easily know more words than you can read, after all. It's not about the reading or spelling, since speeches are by nature oral, it's the understood parts of vocabulary and one or two unfamiliar words can usually be deciphered by context. I think an 8th or 9th grade level is fine. College grad student is too much and elementary schooler is too little. Give us and yourself a little credit for passing middle school. This goes for the person who said that to me, too.

I refused to dumb my speech down, and after 20 years in the pipefitting trade, I've earned their respect as a worker, and they just see the way I talk as a sort of eccentricity, I think.

Having the people understand politics, language, etc and overall be more well educated is a much better goal to have for a nation than this mess.

    The best speakers are understood by the largest audience while still getting their point across. Washington came from a time of elitists who spoke with the purpose of only being understood by other elites. That simply isn't a good way to speak when holding a public office. I do fear we are getting to the point where the substance of the speeches is starting to decline in usefulness but there honestly wasn't much usefulness there to start with.

In fact I think rhetorically the speaches have gotten a lot more effective at persuading the masses. The speaches have been dumbed down, with the current president more so than ever before, but there is such a thing as knowing your audience and his audience seems to be mostly made up of people who didn't feel spoken to by other candidates.

In the white house he has policy advisors, like Mnuchin, and Republicans using him as a useful idiot, like they did George W., to distract, as you mentioned, and shift the Overton window on policy perspective. But Trump has fired many of the people that were keeping him from doing illegal stuff while in office, Rex Tillerson and several generals. He's taken up company with Rudy Giuliani who is completely unhinged as a personal attorney. Would not surprise me at all if he gets impeached again.

The thoughts have gotten so short, and trite, and quippy--it really is just like a musky, grunty dominance display more than a debate, now.

    Yes and no. What you are calling for is a major and almost complete change of the entire American society. I read an article today concerning the policy of the Republican and Democratic party (I am a European) - basically it said that Trump (and slowly the entire Republican party) has understood that the US isn't the nation the Democrats imagine it to be in many parts and willingly accepts the differences - basically turning the US into a wealthy hybrid of third and first world and even emphasize the differences with no intentions of changing them while the Democrats are stuck dreaming about shifting the US into a western European direction, even though at the current moment this is not possible. Now, be that as it may but the interesting point this journalist made was about the US also changing its market focus. Workers are not necessary anymore (well for the near future this is not true but with machines gaining more and more autonomous abilities, the demise of the working class is inevitable). The US of Trump is a US that basically exports recources & tech data and lives in the isolation of the early 1800s - without NATO and UN, free to choose it's partners even from dictatorships while abandoning it's historical and cultural allies. I would send you a link because despite sounding a bit mad at first, the article really made a lot of sense but I doubt it has a good translation. To conclude this matter I must however elaborate on what the political landscape actually does in the US. It reflects the open corruption via oligarchic tendencies as much as the national divide on one side while the other is not all that better but better at well phrasing their failures in a positive light. The speeches will only get better, if the targeted public would be more educated. But Trumps goal doesn't lie in a fair start / state for eveyone but in keeping a relativley small group of influential busines ownera and their high paid employers happy. Trump is much more liberal in a literal sense in his internal policies than the Democrats ever were and this translates into a continuation of the US further dividing itself between the profitable big names that focus on the mentioned recourses and exports (data,tech aso. again really is nothing else). What Trump and his supporters don't consider is that wealth needs to be generated and that one of the biggest strengths of the US itself is the enourmous internal market. That's what makes so many US companies so influential. It's the same in the EU and China but the US policies allow for far more ruthless (limitless?) and therefore profitable approaches with millions of high paying customers in the own home market. To finally answer your question though - either the Dems win and are able to increase the public education by many billions, which would cause better speeches because of the generally raised education or the Reps bring home a couple of more legislatures and fully transform the country into the direction the US is already headed - protectionistic, mercenary esque with a focus on exports. When we also consider that the tripple down effect is proven not to work all that well... to each their own I guess.
