I figure some of the techniques of suggestion are similar.
Hill goes up there looking all bright and chirpy, and it’s hard to think, when looking at that visage, that she is up to something nefarious. Even if she seems to be hiding ill health, which a lot of people do.
That’s a good point. Adams posted a hilarious tweet about Hillary collapsing on 9/11. Something to the effect, ‘What kind of President do we want? How about one that doesn’t collapse on the curb, and have to be thrown into her van like a sack of potatoes.’
In 1774 in "Resolutions of Committee for the Province of Pennsylvania"which constituted "Instructions from the Committee to the Representatives in Assembly" of Pennsylvania as drafted by John Dickinson, a signer of the Constitution and distinguished in other respects as a leader in the period 1774-1787, as excerpted:
"Honour, justice and humanity call upon us to hold, and to transmit to our posterity, that liberty, which we received from our ancestors. It is not our duty to leave wealth to our children: but it is our duty, to leave liberty to them. No infamy, iniquity, or cruelty, can exceed our own, if we, born and educated in a country of freedom, intitled to its blessings, and knowing their value, pusillanimously deserting the post assigned to us by Divine Providence, surrender succeeding generations to a condition of wretchedness, from which no human efforts, in all probability, will be sufficient to extricate them; the experience of all states mournfully demonstrating to us, that when arbitrary power has been established over them, even the wisest and bravest nations, that ever flourished, have, in a few years, degenerated into abject and wretched vassals." "1774 Resolutions of Committee for the Province of Pennsylvania"
Scott Adams is a student of Persuasion. He writes with the purpose of eliciting a response. If he appears to be missing an obvious point it’s because he wants us shouting that point at our monitors. That will imprint it on us better than anything else.
Be glad he’s on our side.
