Tell Me What You'll DO, Not Who I Need to Hate [View all]
An interesting phenomenon in political communication. Dems focus on what they will do to protect you or make your life better, or why you should be afraid of GOP policy because it will literally hurt or even kill you or one’s you love.. GOP ads tell you directly why you should hate certain people who are doing imaginary things to you that are Completely and demonstrably false. “We all hate politicians who do horrible things x, y and z, so vote against generic Dem”. All lies. It’s an incredible disconnect and a huge problem that this is allowed.
