MY TURN: Seven powerful words
My hat is off to David Stoltz, for his perfect Feb. 13 My Turn title. Succinctly, his seven words excite emotional response. Using “Our way of life,” suggests that every citizen adhere to one set of beliefs and establishes a “right side” to associate. Continuing with “is under attack,” a tireless victim mentality trope, he solidifies confirmation bias and promotes fear. His opinion, which is a right I value, is a textbook propaganda piece and should be called out for what it is.
I will set aside the blind hypocrisy David completely misses, as he describes chaos and how the rule of law was set aside, while the rest of us watch the turmoil being created and the legal battles being generated from our new administration. Yes, some good may come from these actions, but that’s not the point.
