I guess this is what I, and the people get for always bashing the people in political power.

The only thing I can do at this point is hope that he proves everyone wrong.

But I'm a bad person.

So, I am genuinely hoping he does bad.  And you know what my pathetic reason is?  It's because I voted for Hillary, hoping that she would have been the better pick.  I am just hoping that I was right in my choice of voting. So terrible!

But that's the way my soul works...

Anyways, I've been... awed by manipulation.  I think I'm constantly trying to prevent myself from being "brainwashed."  I've learned that there are three major types of mind control, educational, suggestive, and persuasive.  The one that stands out to me, is the persuasive type.

The persuasive type of mind control is about a reward system, where people continue to do things if they are rewarded with something they woud like.  One example is being complimented.  If a person is complimented in doing something, he will continue to do that thing...

I can probably use this as a skill.  I used to be all about honesty, but honestly, people just hate each other (or maybe it's just me who hates everyone).  So, I'll get my acting skills on and compliment people!  And I won't look like I'm faking it.  It's a win win.  Because, people also intuitively want to be competent in the things they do... and what's the best measure of competence?  I think it's being recognized. I'M GROWING UP.
