It’s like they wrote out the point they wanted to make and then went back and added a minimum of two scary words per sentence even if they have nothing to do with that point. Like instead of “The Democrats want to cut your social security” it’s “The fake news antifa Democrats want to cut your social security.” Or how they call corona shit like “the Wuhan Chinese Communism virus”
Do you think this is a generally effective way of communicating or does it depend on your base being a bunch of perpetually terrified white boomers
Overloading with info to distract and confuse. I think Steve Bannon is known for that.
I said it a bit sarcastically but the other words are just dogwhistles to cement the manichian worldview. Look at all rightwing media and it’s all fear-based where they’re constantly being victimized.*
*Unless it’s about the stock market and it is doing well then everything with re:economy is peachy. If it’s faltering then scare tactics point viewers/listeners to gold.
