someone once told me to put ammonia on a cloth and leave it in the space your critter has disappeared into, with a well-lit route to the exit you want them to take. kitties have sensitive noses, and nobody really likes the smell of ammonia.

If you want to understand how embedded aesthetics is in fascist thought, I think Umberto Eco's 1995 essay, "Ur-Fascism" is the most accessible work on the subject. You will see numerous connections between Trumpism and historical fascism. theanarchistlibrary.org/library/umbe...
