My cousin in UCSC in college in the 1960s said an advertising executive came to speak to one of his classes. He hawked up an oyster of phlegm and then spit it on the lectern in front of the class and then said, "You are never going to forget that the rest of your lives. This is the main principle of advertising. Getting your attention and keeping it. And so sex sells and death sells. Any way an advertiser can shock you into buying their product that's what they are going to do. The same is true of Trump even though it is the death of democracy worldwide what he is doing. Trump's Dead Cat technique destroys human rights and democracies all over the world just like the Internet does too.
Just remember this: Lies Kill even more than the Truth does sometimes too! But, at least with the truth democracies might survive hundreds of years into the future. Whereas lies will only kill all democracies everywhere more and more each day because democracy is about truth and dictatorships like Trump is creating now are only about lies.
