Actually an unusual article for Wired.....

In the old style days of foreign language training there is a theory that if you repeat a word seven times it is firmly locked into your brain and thus makes it easier to speak a foreign language....

In the concept of psychological warfare this is exactly what Trump and the proTrump alt right ie white nationalist social media is doing hourly 24 X 7 X 365.

THIS is also the concept behind Russian trolling and the use of bots carrying say a "fake news" narrative....by watching a single Russian troll tweet one will see how it is propagated....by the Twitter method known as "retweeting" ...to the point that at some point even MSM picks it up and then when they publish it ..it really does look like the "truth".....

The list of 20 top proTrump accounts that I previously posted and was deleted has been shown to when using a single tweet and their "retweeters" they are capable of driving a hashtag to the top twitter trending within one hour of it's release...

They fully understand how to play the Twitter algorithms....
