I have a friend who I talk to about geopolitics and he is on the opposite side of the political spectrum but actually pretty cool and open to debate.
He can go so far with me on certain matters but not when it comes to DJT his emotions get the better of him and he draws upon a lot of propaganda talking points, most of which I'm easily able to refute.
Recently he hit me with "Trump's mentor was a child abuser" and it was bit of a curve ball as I'll be honest, I didn't have any knowledge on Ray Cohn or his relationship to Trump.
My friend shared the following article with me: https://web.archive.org/web/20200705071114/https://villagemagazine.ie/trumps-mentor-and-the-abuse-of-a-teenage-boy-from-kincora-by-joseph-de-burca/
I don't really have anything to go back to him with as it's near impossible to find anything related to this subject which isn't one sided and I get to a point in searching where it feels like confirmation bias.
I figured I could potentially get a more balanced view of this relationship from the pedes here.
I feel like if I can get him past this then I can open his eyes to so much more. I'm not giving up on him, I'm hoping time will do the job for me and it is to a certain extent but this mental roadblock needs to be lifted.
What y'all got?
Well of course - that's the objective of all enemy propaganda. Irrational conditioned responses vs. the emotional freedom to take part in true critical thinking and dialogue.
Researching down obscure/speculative rabbit holes like mentors, etc., seems far less central and may veer far from the point of what's actually going on.
It’s like so many blind alleys, being seeded out into public forums like flak around fighter planes. To distract from the deliberate origins of obedient compulsive Trump hate.
Maybe getting them curious as to why even intelligent people like your friend could fall oh-so-obediently into emotion-driven Trump hatred/TDS, would be a possible approach.
They may not believe in mass immunity to covid, i.e. - but may hold a belief system that they're immune from propaganda? Vulnerablility vs. invincibility (and who really is 'immune', if ads and propaganda at least tug at everyone's emotions?)
Logical to explore such questions, but victims can also be extremely resistant to their own cult deprogramming - because it has been so skillfully and ruthlessly administered. Weapons grade.
So WHY MUST the electorate be brought to loathe Trump at all costs?
Because the CCP (current puppets i.e. Marxist useful idiots pushing depraved globalists agendas) ’HATES Trump’. He is their antagonist.
Marxism has never been about ‘evolutionary’ ideology - it has always been about returning people and nations attempting empowered citizenry, back into compliant, fear-based serfs. Anyone attempting escape is to be brought back to the plantation.
So currently, the CCP/globalists/allies and their captured (strategically bribed, threatened blackmailed) Mainstream Media has been continuously churning out military weapons-grade propaganda against nationalist Trump. (Except Rachel Maddow, of course. Her $30 million or so/year was for pure, unbiased journalism.)

It is absolutely guaranteed - a skillful psyop could take ANYONE, and design a propaganda campaign that would make most (unguarded, unthinking) people of normally good will, totally and irrationally hate their target. They can’t allow elections ‘of, by and for the people’.
So unconsciously inculcated Trump hate (or hatred of any other nationalist populist candidates threatening their takeover) is a very key part of a militarized assault on our elections. Without it they fall.
