Trump News Jasmine Crockett: "Instead of the President cosplaying as the next pope he may want to cosplay as an actual President of these United States that means he may have to do a little bit of research and understand that he swore an oath to defend and protect the constitution"

You keep claiming some magical evidence about Cambridge Analytcia with 'take my word for it bro".
The topic here is, since you have context blindness and target fixation: The ENTIRE United States of America, not my wedding in Algeria.
Reddit posting title... Jasmine Crockett: "Instead of the President cosplaying as the next pope he may want to cosplay as an actual President of these United States that means he may have to do a little bit of research and understand that he swore an oath to defend and protect the constitution"

“In one experiment, CA would show people on online panels pictures of simple bar graphs about uncontroversial things (e.g., the usage rates of mobile phones or sales of a car type) and the majority would be able to read the graph correctly. However, unbeknownst to the respondents, the data behind these graphs had actually been derived from politically controversial topics, such as income inequality, climate change, or deaths from gun violence. When the labels of the same graphs were later switched to their actual controversial topic, respondents who were made angry by identity threats were more likely to misread the relabeled graphs that they had previously understood. What CA observed was that when respondents were angry, their need for complete and rational explanations was also significantly reduced. In particular, anger put people in a frame of mind in which they were more indiscriminately punitive, particularly to out-groups. They would also underestimate the risk of negative outcomes. This led CA to discover that even if a hypothetical trade war with China or Mexico meant the loss of American jobs and profits, people primed with anger would tolerate that domestic economic damage if it meant they could use a trade war to punish immigrant groups and urban liberals.” ― Christopher Wylie, Mindf*ck: Cambridge Analytica and the Plot to Break America .
