The Dehypnotizing has Begun
Scott Adams Blog ^ | 5 Nov. 2016 | Scott Adams

Posted on 11/05/2016 1:24:50 PM PDT by MtnClimber

I’m getting reports that people have successfully used my blog post that is designed to dehypnotize Clinton supporters. If you want to try it yourself, here are some tips for maximizing the effect.

I engineered the dehypnosis blog post to convert about 20% of Clinton voters who are exposed to it. To maximize the effect, try to identify people who are most easily persuaded. Look for Clinton supporters with these characteristics:

1. Open-minded in general.

2. Under-informed about the election.

3. Plans to vote for Clinton because Trump is “unfit to be around the nuclear codes” or similar reasoning.

My blog post won’t dehypnotize hardcore Democrats who consider their political affiliation part of their identity. But you might want to try it with that group anyway just to watch the cognitive dissonance that arises. Trust me when I say it will be hilarious. You will get to watch a total abandonment of any pretense of rational thought along with – I assume – a frantic attempt to change the topic.

Once you have identified your subject for persuasion, prime that person by saying you read the Scott Adams Blog and you have learned a lot about the field of persuasion. Mention that I am a trained hypnotist and that I have made spooky-accurate predictions so far this election. Tell the person that I wrote a blog post designed to dehypnotize a Clinton voter who thinks Trump is a dangerous candidate. Say you know it works for some people because I reported that here and on Twitter. (That’s true.)

I don’t know, I never met a democrat that showed any amount of logic.

There are other kinds of Democrats?

Most liberals I know reject truth and gobble down lies like a buzzard gobbles down road kill guts.

I couldn’t get past predicate #1. The leftists I encounter have minds that are clamped tight.

I don’t bother. They will perform extreme mental gymnastics to avoid facing the possibility that they may have been wrong.

Yep. A Hillary supporter would rather believe 1000 lies about Trump than one truth about Hillary.
