It works much better on their side b/c they're more like sheep, they're simple. Our people aren't as zombie-like. We think for ourselves more, and we don't get down in the mud b/c we're kinder...we don't like the ugly (same reason hate radio/tv doesn't work from the left, IMO). Sometimes I'm jealous at how well it works on their side. More often I'm disgusted at how moronic they are, and am glad that we're above that.
Point is, I don't think it's anything new. They always do the nicknames, repeating simple phrases, etc...

Uh, people pray, die for the 1%, and smoke cigarettes. I'd say brainwashing is very effective. nt
