Trump’s Manipulation of Mass Consciousness

Sosteric explores how Donald Trump and similar political actors employ mass manipulation techniques to distort reality, induce fear, and enforce obedience. Drawing on classical propaganda strategies and the LP concept of Consciousness Manipulation, the article argues that this is not new — it is a continuation of elite strategies designed to manufacture consent and suppress critical awareness.

Trumpism is diagnosed not as personal charisma, but as a consciousness warfare technique operating within a globally deteriorating social and ideological structure.
