an old trick -- make the felon believe he thought of your idea first. It isn't as simple as attempting to do this, for it takes talent to accomplish it as completely as Mamdani did. I used to use that to get psychotic people to go to the hospital: rather than me suggesting it, I got them to, then agreed with them. Think of how the hard-core maga are viewing the felon's kind and encouraging words about a socialist.

Now, of course, the felon is legendary for agreeing with the last person he spoke with. But it worked ...... including the FDR jab, which was icing on the cake.
