.......over and over again. ...........????Joseph Goebbels said, "If you repeat a lie often enough, it becomes the truth." And who was Joseph Goebbels? He was Hitler's propaganda expert. Therefore, Trump is using an idea that Hitler used in ruling Germany. And, Trump is indeed saying that over and over, and he will continue to say it over and over...And that is why..... He got the "over and over" idea from Hitler....pass it on....

We knew what to do with Hitler's troops.
But somehow we've forgotten how to treat Nazis since then.

(5,808 posts)He (they) use a bunch of tactics designed to brainwash, normalize the abnormal and overwhelm with a constant blizzard of craziness. One thing after another wears you down eventually. You just get tired of resisting. (Well, WE do. The base cheers his nastiness.) So it is a whole playbook of tactics to inculcate the message, wear down your resistance and make it all seem normal.
One of tRumps Central messages is to distrust the media. He has been at this for quite a while now so we have our work cut out for us if changing people's Perceptions is the goal. The base has been carefully groomed and even taught to distrust their instincts that something is wrong. People who understand how brainwashing works can go a long way to help us know how to retrain thinking so they will listen as alarm bells are going off all over the place.
If you are an expert on how to break through to the brainwashed and misled, your help and expertise are needed NOW more than ever. You may say well who needs the base? WE do. The stupefied and compliant zombies who support tRump need to wake up and get off that crazy train. As long as he can generate an audience of willing participants, it makes the job that much harder of stopping tRump and ultimately, Putin.
