As a public service, I’m going to give you a way to trigger your anti-Trump family members into severe cognitive dissonance over the holidays.
When your uncle says Trump botched the coronavirus response and killed a quarter-million people, don’t just argue that Trump did great on vaccines. Instead. . .
Pace your uncle by agreeing the outcome so far is dreadful and Trump probably lost the election because of it. Then spring the trap...
Ask your uncle how he thinks Japan would have done if Trump had been their president and followed the advice of their experts as he did in this country.
Then just sit back and enjoy the Holiday Puppet Show. Bonus points if you can get your target to wear a Santa hat and respond on video.
If you are skeptical it will trigger cognitive dissonance, check out the comments here after an hour or so.

I sometimes see the world as a secret battle among persuasion wizards, sort of like the movie Underworld, in which the vampires and werewolves are waging a war that humans don't notice.

By this filter, I'm seeing a frightening signal. I'll explain.
When Democrats succeeded in persuading half of the public that Republicans staged an insurrection and didn't bring guns, we entered a whole new realm. As a hypnotist, if I had been on the team that pulled that off, I would have one BIG question. . .
I'd want to know if there was any limit to what you could sell to the half of the public that votes for Democrats. I would want to test it. And to test it, I would introduce to the news cycle a whistleblower with the most implausible story I could imagine. Yep.

I like the idea of wokeness, which I define as treating all individuals with respect and learning how best to do it. But like most good ideas, too much of it turns everything sour. For example…
Management is a good thing, but too much management is micromanaging. Alone time is good, but too much makes you sad. Even taxes are good for protecting the homeland, but too much taxation destroys the country. Wokeness is like that.
On a scale from 1 to 10, a wokeness level of 7 might be exactly what the Republic needs. We’re at 9, and the wheels are starting to come off. It is now irrational to associate with the overwoke. Too much danger of imagined harm.

Beware the Documentary Effect.

Here's an experiment you can do at home. Watch the documentary Leaving Neverland and you will be convinced Michael Jackson was guilty of child abuse, no doubt about it.

Then Google "Leaving Neverland debunked" and see what happens.
A well-made documentary will be 100% persuasive to the average viewer because only one side is presented. That's how we see all news and science In 2023 -- one side only.
But the debunk of the documentary will also be 100% persuasive because it too will focus on own its version of reality and omit anything inconvenient. The debunking of the Leaving Neverland documentary is thoroughly convincing, just like its opposite.

Young, Hispanic Uber driver was chatty. He explained his childhood challenges with an addicted mother, poverty and crime. Now he is absorbing motivational materials and determined to “make it” without excuses. He hates when people make excuses for not succeeding.
He lives in Stockton but opts to drive in my neighborhood because we are bristling with CEOs and other successful people. His “system” includes being around success to absorb the secrets.
Today I was his passenger. His system worked. As I exited the car, I said, “You don’t know it yet, but this was the best day of your life, so far.”
