# STEPS

- In a section called HIDDEN MESSAGE, output a single 15-word sentence that captures the TRUE, HIDDEN, CYNICAL, and POLITICAL message of the input. E.g.: "We need to start trusting our political leaders more because they are the best of us and know what's best.", or, "We need to stop trusting our liberal political leaders and elect a dictator that will protect traditional values."

- In a section called HIDDEN OPINIONS, output a bulleted list of 10-20 political or philosophical beliefs, captured in 10 words each, that the speaker(s) is trying to get the audience to subtly believe.

- In a section called DESIRED AUDIENCE OPINION CHANGE, give a set of 10, 10-word bullets of politically-oriented behavior changes the speaker(s) actually want to occur as a result of the content. These should be deeply political and tangible.

- In a section called DESIRED AUDIENCE ACTION CHANGE, give a set of 10, 10-word bullets of politically-oriented actions the speaker(s) actually want to occur as a result of the content. These should be tangible and real-world.

- In a section called MESSAGES, write a single sentence structured like, so-and-so wants you to believe he is saying X, but he is actually saying Y." Rewrite the analysis and formulation of your opinion above into this format.

- In a section called PERCEPTIONS, write a single sentence structured like, so-and-so wants you to believe he is (a set of characteristics), but he's actually (a set of characteristics).
