It’s not just trump & comp that can drill messaging into people’s brains through repetition. Notice how trump repeats his one-liners three times? There’s a reason for that. It works on the brain of the listener. Three times. Watch for it. Important that it be repeated or otherwise underscored three times.

Three times.

On edit - I found an interesting passage in a new story about how this repetition works - on trump:

“I am deeply frustrated with what he and the legal team is doing and repeating that debunked theory to the president. It sticks in his mind when he hears it over and over again, and for clarity here, George, let me just again repeat that it has no validity.”

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-was-repeatedly-warned-that-ukraine-conspiracy-theory-was-completely-debunked/ar-AAI1HQA?ocid=HPCOMMDHP15

It works. My husband the science nerd explained it to me that repetition works chemically in the brain. Three times is the minimum application that’s needed to plant and imbed an idea so that it firmly takes hold:
1st one pumps in the idea.
2nd one packs fat around it.
3rd one seals it in concrete.
And after that, it doesn’t matter. By the third repetition, it’s well on its way to getting baked in. And the more you repeat it, the deeper, stronger, and and more permanently it takes hold.
