What’s hilarious to me is that so many people I talk to refuse out-of-hand to consider that he’s using a hypnotic technique, but also point out themselves about how they’re mystified about how he’s able to influence so many followers. Not only does the hypnosis hypothesis have a fair amount of scientific and historical support, it’s a better explanation than, “It doesn’t make any sense!”
He’s a salesman and these are salesman techniques. I guess calling it hypnosis throws everyone off, but I don’t really get why. Putting people in positions to be manipulated seems pretty obvious that that’s what he’s doing.
