Sin.
Im hearing some of my otherwise sane anti trumpers say they stopped watching the news in the last few months, and they are observably more mentally stable now.
Oh anon, anon… I am sorry to have to tell you, but if you cant conceive that rational people can have their minds manipulated, you have far to go. In all seriousness, some videos on hypnosis might be a good place to start. Repair your blindspot.
The battlefield has been mostly in the persuasion field so far.
