^^^^^^ That shit right there is what Richard Dawkins was taking about meme theory. I would merely call it marketing. Marketing does work, but that does not mean it is objective.
Handing down social norms to the next generation is what most of our species does. But that does not constitute fact.
If all marketing by religion or political party or economic view were true by default then we would use those things as universally as we do a computer, doctor or flu vaccine.
You not liking Hillary does not even put her as even being close to the vile WW2 German scapegoating marketing 45 has employed.
