An unsolicited tip regarding rhetoric...             MAGA            
posted ago by VolareVia ago by VolareVia +20 / -0

People who are skepical that Joe Biden won the election, but haven't yet come around to the truth that he actually didn't will not believe you if you tell them there's a collective of RINOs that are 'approved' candidates if said RINOs start winning elections.

The only real way to guarantee these skeptical people start believing election fraud unfortunately is if Dems really do overwhelmingly get elected in 2022. That would serve to reinforce the idea for them that there's malarkey in the 2020 election.

As depressing as it might be, the best messaging to give to normies is not hard claims of fraud, but memes that cast even more doubt on the election.

Strictly speaking, by the most technically accurate definition of the word, this is propaganda. But then, anything that is designed to change the beliefs of others is propaganda. We should be embracing that.

The thing about propaganda though is this. There's some decent science coming out to suggest that it only works on people who already believe it. Sort of. You can reinforce doubt, and you can reinforce convictions. You cannot turn a doubt into a conviction. That process happens in the mind of the target of propaganda naturally, when that which has made them doubt leaves their conviction subject to change pending their own inquiry.

Given this, you would all do well to play close attention to what a person believes is true and even their personal interests and adjust your rhetoric and propaganda accordingly. Unfortunately this also means that attacking Tucker Carlson, Charlie Kirk, or anyone else that might lead people to this website is a bad idea. It's fine if you don't want to subscribe to Ben Shapiro, but don't bug people in the comment section of YouTube. Also, don't trash pundits who still use FAGAT (Facebook, Amazon, Google, Apple, Twitter). Even if they have to shamelessly self-censor, it still stands to bring people here in the long run.

It may seem scummy of me, because this is also the way in which some faithless people go about deliberately undermining people's faith in God. But this systematic and self-aware way to deliberately manipulate people's beliefs is simply the most effective way to convince people. Our political adversaries do not act as though they have any morals or principles. Spare them no scummy tactics in return. Save your principles for when you have to rally your allies. Trump is very good at this. It's time we all start practicing.

"One must be as evil as he has to be, to be as moral as he wants to be" -Machiavelli

PS: We would do well to use this site to rally around people and causes even if it seems like they can't make a real difference. At the end of the day, in the same way you can't be called a monster indefinitely without coming to believe it, practically speaking, we need to keep telling ourselves that what we're doing is right.
