Since 1996 under Gingrich, the GOP has been using loaded, accusatory language to create negative propaganda to debase ordinary words.
They weaponized neutral terms such as "liberal", "progressive", "socialist", "taxes", "welfare", "regulation" into emotional dog-whistles.

The famous 1996 GOPAC Memo, which Gingrich and others in the GOP crafted to give that year's GOP candidates tools to propagandize their campaigns, is loaded with the negative terminology to label their opponents, and positive terms for themselves.

The GOP, like Cambridge Analytica, deliberately avoids facts & logic.
They use emotional manipulation via propaganda to "switch off" voters' skepticism & critical thinking.
That's why they try to co-opt terms like "patriot", "freedom", and "rights".
This is not new.

I imagine many will see #IsleOfDogs and feel more empathy for the deported doggo animations than for their fellow humans who are being deported in real life.

The film was also an apt critique of how propaganda is used in the mainstream media to control the public - especially after the #SinclairBroadcasting snafu
Plus OF COURSE student journalists and doggies save society. 😻 Go see #IsleOfDogs! It’s my new favorite.
Nationwide boycott of all Sinclair Broadcasting stations and the companies supporting them is in order
Unless you want to see America's local news turn into an engine for @RT_com style propaganda...
