Something you didn't specifically mention although it is covered in some of the activities mentioned, is simple Pavlovian conditioning.

I suspect it is the basis for brainwashing although I have never really studied it.

As Pavlov conditioned his dog to salivate when a bell was rung by ringing the bell and feeding it at the same time, leftists are doing the same thing.

Conservative politician on TV sitcom, character is evil. Do this a few thousand times and when you see a conservative politician, what do you think?

Same thing is done with minorities always portrayed as better than Whites etc.
