The media created a mesmerism of hope and change
Sold it to the sheeple by hiding the mange
Doing the same for Hillary’s turn
They sold out that socialist Bern
And Trump they will now shortchange.

I believe mesmerism was originally practiced by Mesmer passing his hands over the body of a subject in a pattern. It was believed by Mesmer that this pattern was displacing or redirecting magnetic fields, not that the subject was fascinated by the hand movement.

"Mesmerism" is one of the many words in English that comes from a person's name, in this case
Franz Mesmer. Chauvinism, the 70s buzzword for alleged sexism, is another example, plus more recent examples of calling someone a quisling, or for that matter referring to receiving oral sex as getting Lewinskyed.

Well, ya see, in today’s world, only liberals are allowed to claim they are merciful and compassionate - although their actual actions destroy the ones whom they claim are “helping” ... Conservatives, by definition, are hate-filled and racist. Right?
Worse, today’s millennials are mememememerisms. All me, all the time.

IIRC, Mesmer was the guy who put magnets around his balls claiming it made him more virile and fertile

Hillary’s awkward pauses, inappropriate and prolonged laughter, and distorted facial movements are indicative of impaired brain functioning....or Satan’s mesmerism.

As anything can be called racism
