I've described this technique to my audience over the years. I learned it when training to be a hypnotist. And I've used it successfully a number of times. It's a powerful tool. The method involves ACCEPTING the illusion you are trying to defeat and showing its absurdity by taking it to its obvious conclusion. Trump ACCEPTED the Democrat worldview that identity is the key variable, then casually discussed the incongruity of Harris in terms of her identity. And he did it in front of an audience organized by their identity. This particular persuasion will continue to sink in, to marinate, and to get more powerful over time. The losing play in this situation would have been to argue against using identity to choose candidates. That would be a non-starter. Instead, he "entered their illusion" and left a huge turd in the middle of their living room. It was one of the best persuasion plays in political history. But it will take some time to see it do its magic.
