#119 - Thought Stopping

from Wicked Smart w/ Lucas Bean Hosted by Lucas Bean

In this episode, we break down how Trump pre-loaded four phrases into his followers: fake news, witch hunt, deep state, and TDS. How repetition programs an automatic response. Why facts never land. And why the follower has no idea it is happening to them. Stupid people are easy to program. That's the whole business model. In 1961, psychiatrist Robert Lifton studied survivors of Chinese Communist brainwashing and discovered how cult leaders control whether their followers think at all. He called it thought stopping.
