Kinda insane somebody made this graphic and didn't notice himself that all of those things are positive lmao
I started reading the points without noticing that it was Fox news and I was thinking it was an amazing platform indeed
Yeah, most times, fox news screenshots read like evil capitalist propaganda. But this screenshot just reads like politically neutral information. Am I missing something?
its to scare CUBAN, venezuelan, and south american voters, and boomers, gen-xers as a boogyman.
whatever republicants don't want or are constantly raging about are probably some pretty good things for everyone.
also plus, unlike the other msms, fox is giving these people FREE press. any press is good press.
The strategy isn't to paint your opponent in a negative light. It's to be the first person to give any information about them, and then portray them in a negative light. Fox and conservative media ain't stupid. They know their loyal followers might talk to people outside the bubble. It is CRUCIAL that any possible talking point that could steer them away from conservative goals be brought up by conservative sources first, so that their followers have canned responses to everything rather than needing to think about a response.
If someone knee deep in conservative bullshit gets some time to think about their actual positions, they might consider leaving. So they guarantee they don't have time or space to have thoughts that weren't already give them.
Edit: This is why you'll see conservative groups seemingly fracture after any big, negative news. But then a few days later they're all shored up again, like there was never an issue. Had to wait for their talking points to come down in order to maintain group cohesion.
They can't be allowed to think so they're kept perpetually angry and irrational
No no, you see they're only positive if white Christian nationalists get them. If those dirty brown people get them too, then it's bad. Brown people shouldn't be allowed to have good things.
trying to label it as a bad thing, like they did with Zohran, it only makes people like him, and nixon more likable.
