interesting. however, it seems so hard for someone to fake charisma for so many years. unless all the events we heard about were just fake too.
wouldn't it be easier just to take advantage of someone who is already charismatic and passionate and building a movement that someone else wants to exploit? wouldn't it be easier to just take advantage of an event that could very well happen naturally due to the current polarization?
like, this guy just takes it for granted that you can control a character for 10 years and they don't fall into drinking or wild parties or whatever that would ruin the whole plan.
i'm not disagreeing with the outcome: more control over us.
