How Propaganda Manipulates You | Therapist Explains Psychology of Politics?

Imagine you're playing a game where someone is trying to make you believe something that isn't really true, and they’re using tricks to do it. That's propaganda.

Think of propaganda like a special kind of advertisement, but instead of just selling toys or candy, it’s trying to change how people think about things like leaders, ideas, or even what is fair.

When you're on the playground and someone tells you that the biggest slide is the best one, but actually, it's not, they’re using tricks to make you believe something that’s not true. That's like how propaganda works with grown-ups.

Sometimes people in politics use fancy words, loud music, or even funny stories to make you feel excited, nervous, or even sad, and then you start believing what they say because it makes you feel a certain way inside.

Imagine if everyone on the playground started believing the same made-up story about the slide. Soon, no one would question it, just like how propaganda can make people believe things that aren’t true in real life.
