Now we have the formula. Can some rich pede bankroll a project to use this formula to create a show that hypnotically trains viewers to think for themselves?
Well to be blunt, no. The formula works for the exact opposite purpose. Training people to think for themselves takes a lifetime, and deprogramming is incredibly difficult. The only surefire way requires trauma. Literally forcing someone to wake up from their delusions and face reality.
Convincing someone of a lie is infinitely easier than convincing them of the truth. The lie can be shaped, colored, and formed to fit into the existing delusions of the mind. The truth cannot. The truth is hard, sharp and pointed.
This is actually not accurate. The formula can be used to encourage critical thinking over a long period of time (years, or the amount of time these shows usually run for).
A script writer in the show actually could do it. You address some current events trope in one short segment, do the layout, quip, laugh track, then address something else next but in the script conflict with the first segment. Because the first segment is still rolling around the mind of the viewer, they will acknowledge the conflict, then laugh, thus internalizing the conflict rather than the message itself. The trick is that the quips conflict, not necessarily the facts.
Shows like these usually have ongoing, overarching tropes. After a period of time, work quips in that subtly conflict with these tropes and you can break the conditioning of the method itself.
It requires more talented writing but is possible.
Scott Adams kinda does this with his book Loserthink. What it really does is teach you to recognize themagic trick. Like Penn and Teller for political social media.

I think a Trump re-election will be traumatic enough to do just that
As the other reply says: no.
Essentially, this is hypnotism. The best way to inoculate yourself against hypnotism is to understand it and resist it.
Counter hypnosis is still hypnosis
