[QUOTE="porco-dddio, post: 79788, member: 656"] I wuldnt call MAGA propaganda "genius" simply because its repetition of methods already tested in USSR and china. I can concede that first trump propaganda seemed unusual, due to lots of common scripts being flipped, but the variations done to the scripts were surprisingly mundane. LIke instead of deus ex machina you do the trick where you ask peoples to help trump because hes surrounded by "the deep state". People vs deep state isnt "genius", its more like a very tired cliche. Cycling the moral panic is a known method to control the herd, like for example making people hate immigration and then keep a double faced dialog with immigrants separating 2 or more different messaging, so both the immigrant and the local end up supporting you. What I think you could frame as "genius" is the scattered presence of MAGA in social media, simply because is a more evolved platform compared to Obama campaign. Tech changed. They are able now to do realtime adaptation, but I dont consider it "genius " is more like an evolution of social media platforms. Entertainment + politics is simple bread and circus, is very old. Also, their propaganda has no appeal for intelligent people, its almost only directed at the dumb. Notice also MAGA cultural revolution has zero academia power. Or is very close to zero. You should ask yourself why they are able to do a cultural revolution occupying only social media. I have some hypotheses about it. [/QUOTE]
