You are being manipulated
Your mind is being manipulated by a very sly communicator. “Low energy” Bush. “lying” Ted Cruz. Look at that “face” Carley. You are witnessing the “Attribution theory,” election. If a label is stuck on someone’s head and it stays there… it may be hard to shake.
The bragging Republican presumptive nominee and egomaniac Trump likes to stick labels all over people. He’s aiming for what is called “internal attribution.” He’s creating names to pin negative internal characteristics on people to define his competitors. In the future, he’ll use any minor situation to confirm the label and define the entire person.
When Trump loses he uses “external attribution.” “Well, you know there were 19 people in the race, I couldn’t win every race.” He sticks the Trump failure to some external situation. Then, it has nothing to do with him that he turned off millions of people who voted for someone else.
Labels work even when they aren’t true.
Bush was either low energy, or tired on days that he worked really hard; just like everyone else. Ted Cruz was either lying (which he usually is), or people would look at the bully Trump’s lying. Trump got people to look at Cruz’s honesty, even though Politifact rates Trump the most dishonest candidate. In his Politifact profile, Trump’s controversial “factual” statements have been rated at 2% true.
Both Democrats are honest, but he’ll manufacture the opposite impression
In sharp contrast, both Democratic candidates are the most honest politicians today. Most of what Bernie and Hillary say is true, or mostly true. Right now, Trump aims to stick dishonest labels on our party leader. Politifact checks the most controversial factual statements only, and in Hillary’s profile, and Bernie Sanders profile, you can see how dramatically more honest their controversial statements are than Trumps.
I believe Trump is a fact-free know nothing, or he knows and Trump spreads lies to manipulate you and get in your head. He’s taking advantage of the theory of internal attribution to control the way you think. Scheming Trump is usually able to do it with one or two words. This allows for a massive simplification of the entire election for people who don’t care to consider the policy differences between candidates.
People are countering this now. I’ve launched the “Fire Trump” page to capture all the labels that those retaliating aim to stick on his face. Reality is, we have to win the race to define him before he defines our candidate negatively, or we lose the race.
Now you know what attribution theory is. Don’t fall for it! Don’t even let it into your head. If you see Trump on TV turn the disgusting bastard off!
There you have it: Trump, the Great Manipulator.

Some things I know about this after 25 years of teaching people to start a new chapter and become someone new…
Let’s face it. We are basically machines, in that from the very first day, we are pasted with literally thousands of notes about who we are, who others are, and what life is about. To use a more intense descriptor, we are brainwashed from the moment we are born to hold points of view on every single
aspect of life.
You could say that people are mostly all robots, so fully programmed before they’ve had a chance to start forming their own view of themselves and the world around them. We are programmed head to toe and a lot of it is very useful for fitting into our family, our culture, our religion, etc.
After all, the name on your legal documents is the name your parents gave you, unless you legally changed it (not robotic, but deliberate).
The question that the Hindu religion asks is, Who are you before that mound of programming was
dumped down your throat. Though you have a male body, you “learn” to be a man from the feedback
that others in your culture give. Same with religion. Same with socio-economic status. It goes on and on and on.
In my own work, I have a process where I find out what a person has been natural good at since they were born (their Natural Genius), what qualitative result always occurs when you use that Genius (your True Result) and the name of the person who does that and has that result. (True Self). The True Self is as close as I’ve heard anyone has come in the Western culture to naming that original consciousness that everyone is born with, which, for Hindus, is the first milestone for being enlightened. It actually is enlightenment.
All the great dominators and tyrants in the world have relied heavily on the mind’s ability to be
plastic enough to take new “code” and use it ruthlessly, but when I discovered my Genius, Result and True Self, I literally had the opportunity to become that person. It took me two years to make a permanent change – this old programming is primordial and often seems Kraze Glued in.
What it boiled down to that made it much easier and fun for me was that it was simply and IT
project, not different from Microsoft putting out a new Windows System. Bingo. Then it was only an interesting and very useful upgrade project.
Everyone loves what you guys are usually up too.
