> Former Trump Supporter To CNN: Media Changed My Mind About Trump <

It’s easy for us conservatives to mock this headline. But propaganda works. History has shown that. Propaganda works. We would be wise to keep that in mind.

Wise man. Not everybody is a member of Free Republic.

It does work on the weak-minded.
Those who have seen through them cannot unsee through them.

“It’s easy for us conservatives to mock this headline. But propaganda works.”

Dennis Prager often says that one of the great surprises to him is to learn that a free people can be brainwashed. The media/political class/educational system are accomplishing exactly what they want to accomplish.

An old leftist trick. C-Span had scores of callers on their morning show (haven’t watched in some time) who had “miraculous” religious conversions from Republican to Communist Democrat. Why they had voted for years for the Gee-Oh-Pee until “fill in the blank Conservative” did “fill in the blank Conservative thing” and, by George, they had had enough and voted CommieDem. Like clockwork. Every morning.

After awhile, you begin to notice the voices sound similar and the stories identical, and you soon realize they were always an ultraleft ‘Rat and never supported the GOP. If this lady says she voted for Trump, she’s lying.

Propaganda works on weak-minded people.

Mock the hell out of them. Liberals are easy.
Summer of 2016 I was having the time of my life with liberals.

“You must vote for the smartest woman in the world. How can you not vote for the smartest woman in the world?”

“She is the smartest woman in the world, C’mon man!
Bernie is the smartest man in the world but that just makes you a sexist if you vote for him. It’s Gotta be Ole Crusty.”

They would stop me and say they were voting for dope-head Gary.

I told them that was probably for the best.

Liberals deep down know they are not very bright. Just follow the wind.

If it didn't, they wouldn't pound us with it 24/7. E.g., there was this article in today's Atlanta paper:Syrian refugee girl safe in Georgia amid travel ban

If there were a significant shift in Trump’s support there would be people like this woman on the news every day. The media are desperate for these stories, but so far haven’t been producing many.

True. But it cuts both ways. I know 2 single women who either didn't vote, or who voted for Trump but couldn't stand him, who are so fed up with the media's coverage that they are now very supportive (they still don't like him, but they respect what he has had to endure). I have no doubt that if they were to conduct an objective, unbiased sampling they would find both camps (moving away from Trump, and moving toward Trump) to be substantial -- but they will only acknowledge the first group.

Propaganda does indeed work, but it can also backfire. Only time will tell which it does, in this particular case.
