>the public trial did get a boost
Someone asked: 'Can emotions be used to influence decisions?'
This is one of the ways that [They] 'manage' societies they control. [They] do not appeal to logic, they manipulate emotions. Got a lynching bill to pass? Then stage a lynching and have politicians you control act outraged. Or, frame a nominee for the Supreme Court through unfounded allegations to whip up sympathy for Anita Hill and disgust at Judge Thomas. [They] are masters at manipulating the masses through emotion.
