I’ve read Cialdini’s work.
Trump has too... he’s a master of social proof and other tactics that in my opinion can be used for evil or good.
I see Freepers all down after listening MSM on TV. It works!
But people see the Trump crowds and get happy and excited and remember again what’s real.
It’s more difficult to persuade, or pre-suade, when the target knows what’s going on.
This is why the media went into meltdown mode when Trump said that he would wait and see if there was evidence of fraud before he accepted the outcome of the election. This blew a whole in their gas lighting voters with fake polls.
That would surely evoke a reaction that will not set well with voters, and may even produce catastrophic reactions. Then Obama would call for Martial Law and remain as President.
Would the U.S. military then move against the President and this administration?
Screws to Cialdini. I’d rather read Dilbert or S. Adams, any day of the week, though Sunday are better, Dilly’s in color! Yay!
Dem Party / Goebbels psyops bump for later.....
1. Take control of all major information media.
2. Say whatever you want.
3. Ignore or ridicule other points of view.
The Clinton campaign’s “persuasion science” is not rocket science.
Very interesting. Thanks for posting. Another name I had not heard of, Cialdini.
Speaking of psyops...”Beyond Freedom and Dignity”

What Skinner box are you in?
What all of the recent Cialdini “persuasion” articles are missing is: What good is your “persuasion” of you can’t get your message out in the first place?
I suppose it’s easier to be a “master persuader” when you control the communication channels. When every MSM media outlet lies on behalf of Clinton and refuses to report anti-Clinton messages, wikileaks, the O’Keefe videos, I would not say that Clinton is a better persuader than Trump. However I would say that the election is “rigged”.
bump for later
they're playing with fire. If they are manipulating the "masses" and are able to "rule without the consent of the masses" it's only a matter of time before the basest of their group starts aggressively attacking the majority.
the "reaction" is always worse than the "action" and conservative revolt is always worse than "progressive" revolt.
With a large enough populace of unemployed and underemployed men, with a significant percentage of military experience, the conflicts will be sudden and violent.
We are FAR FAR FAR from that type of conflict. We are to fat, fed and distracted. I hope he's read some history because it never ends well for those that oppose the majority and those that helped the oppressors. For examples the French Revolution, overthrow of Mussolini, Romania..etc.
There is no reason to lose to these sociopaths. They are entirely predictable. If a crime can be committed, they will commit it. One must always presume.

Try this one: Make the outlandish statement that Hillary is going to make a run at winning TX.
Set up voting machines in TX to make comically obvious visible errors to provoke outrage, focusing attention on an irrelevance.
Set up machines which invisibly flip votes in real contested critical voting precincts.
Ridicule as paranoid those who are now suggesting real vote-flipping where the statistics clearly show fraud in the machines.
Using straw men as pre-suasion. The fix is in.
