(gosh I can't believe I'm quoting this) Religion is a good sedative .

Then you wake them up. Nice security then the big event -

" Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY." Goering Nuremberg, 1946

But why not deeply customise the message to individual groups, rather than mere mass propaganda?

Cruz' campaign said they had over 50,000 data points to target pitches. Think Google/FaceBook selling Propaganda.

Cruz campaign credits psychological data and analytics for its rising success
