Yesterday, I was debunking disinformation believed by intelligent people. One of them mentioned that when you see a story it’s easy to disregard it, but, when you see it twice, you begin to think, “Maybe there’s something to it…”

But… we have a newish profession, “Political Consultant.” A “political consultant” is essentially in sales, they sell candidates. They do that using psychology. Just watch how candidates “workshop” short mottos like “A thousand points of light” (a George HW Bush campaign hook that came from a focus group watching a Reagan speech.) Bush’s key “issues” came from “focus groups.” For example, he would have passed a law requiring Massachusetts school children to recite the "pledge of allegiance.” (Never mind that Governor Dukakis, had been advised that such a law was unconstitutional. The focus groups said it would sell, and it did!)

Bill Clinton did the same thing, quite successfully. Campaigns are carefully crafted using psychology. “Hard work is good work!”

Watch A Face in the Crowd to see a political consultant at work.

In your OP, the advisory is talking specifically about a foreign adversary maliciously influencing the public to initiate discord and violence. This bears no similarity whatsoever to the historical references you're making regarding past presidents.

Note that I quoted, “Hard work is good work!” I might also have mentioned that, “When we fight, we win!” I might also add, “We are not going back!” “Together, we can win this!” and “We are not playing around."

“USA! USA! USA!”

Well, at least it’s not “Lock him up!” (but I certainly hope someone does.)

so he can assure Russian citizens there is nothing better than what they have. "You see? Democracy doesn't work."

If he can't raise Russia up, he'll try to lower other countries. He's even creating chaos across the Sahel region of Africa (albeit, for slightly different reasons).
