The thing that most stood out to me in the chapter is that the author was able to trick both the characters and the readers into thinking that the senator would make a good leader just because of the way he was described. In the end the author tricked everyone by revealing that he was the worst president in history. One thing that we could learn from this chapter is not to pick a leader by the way that they present them self, or by the way people talk about him. You need to pick a leader by the way he speaks, his ideas, and his ideals or qualities. The IAT test revealed that i have a small preference for people of my own race and gender, it surprised me at first but I realized that people are always drawn slightly to people similar to them.
