Duterte detractors' common assumption is that those who voted for Duterte are either idiots or just plain paid hacks.
The truth is, those who voted for Duterte were the very same ones who voted for Pnoy eleven years ago. The same people who ironically rejected Pnoy's chosen candidate and instead gave Duterte his landslide victory five years ago, and the same who trashed the Liberal Party's "Ocho Derecho" in a humiliating defeat during the midterm elections two years ago.
Idiots? Paid political hacks? Better rethink your assumptions.
