Anti-Trump Reflexive Control
Debate: Anti-Trump Reflexive Control
You hate Trump. You got daughters. You don’t want the Handmaid’s Tale America Trump’s offering.
Thats your vulnerability.
You begin promoting Troll that @Potus should not be the next president of the US.
That’s how Reflexive Control works.
We have a mental model of how Disinformation works: other people fall for it.
Yet, if we’re not focussing on the following, we’re the ones who’ve allowed Disinfolklore dominate our minds (understand how Trolling works, how it passes energy of emotions between us - and avoid doing demons’ work for them).

Reflexive Control doesn’t only work on Trump supporters. Anti-Trump vulnerability is exploitable too — your hatred is the trigger, your fear for your daughters is the experience, and your predictable reaction (amplifying opposition) serves the Disinfolklorist. Nobody is immune.
