"Trump is inventing crises and then using them to justify sweeping actions. He's taken a manageable, misunderstood concept and turned it into a "national emergency" — not because it is one, but because the emergency frame gives him cover to act recklessly and consolidate power."

“Successful frames do more than describe reality. They help us understand it by activating the right neural pathways. TACO works because it connects to something we already know: bullies are usually weaklings in disguise. The frame makes the pattern visible and memorable.”

"American democracy is based on empathy — citizens caring about other citizens and working through their government to provide public resources for all, making both decent lives and flourishing markets possible. Empathy is why we have the values of freedom, fairness, and equality – for everyone, not just for certain individuals. If we put ourselves in the shoes of others, we will want them to be free and treated fairly. Empathy with all leads to equality: no one should be treated worse than anyone else. Empathy leads us to democracy: to avoid being subject indefinitely to the whims of an oppressive and unfair ruler, we need to be able to choose who governs us and we need a government of laws."

“For instance, the use of words like “muscular,” “bold,” or “regal” in describing political figures can subtly reshape reality, casting authoritarianism as strength and dismantling democratic norms as mere disruption.”

"Democrats must tell Americans what is happening and show spirit and moral resolve. Capitulation is complicity, and if we’re not careful, Republicans will use their disinformation weapons to blame Democrats for any pain caused by the destruction of government."

No shortage of content on this topic, but this one from @gilduran w/ #framelab has one of the more incisive analyses.
Strict father morality is a growing force in American politics, Broligarchs'—wealthy tech figures who are increasingly influencing politics and Destruction of Government by Elon are expressions from the three latest pod episodes (24-26) of the Framelab pod.
I consider Framelab as an interesting pod for US politics, but also good for me to reflect on Swedish politics.
Any in US who listen to it?

Our top reasons for making the right move
#FrameLab is an amazing pod about better understanding how so many are so stuck in polarizing opinions. Particularly focus is on USA politics and what the differences are for GOP and DNC voters.
For me, every episode makes me understand things a bit better, sometimes a lot. Linguistic professor @georgelakoff, cofounder of the pod, explains things very understandable.
They will now ramp up publishing episodes due to the US election in November.
I highly recommend it.
Is everything a friggin #Conspiracy with these people?
Why #TaylorSwift terrifies #Republicans🧐
“Swift — already one of the most famous people in the world — has been dating the #NFL’s #TravisKelce, who plays for the #KansasCityChiefs
In response, right-wing #football fans have politicized the situation. They have been praying for the demise of Kelce’s team. They have blamed the team’s losses on Swift, saddling her with direct responsibility for the team’s fate
They have even predicted that #Kelce’s relationship with #Swift would cost his team a shot at the championship”

What the Media can do to stop #Trump
Ban repeat liars from live interviews
Never put a lie in the headline
Use a truth sandwich when reporting on lies
Don’t take the bait (stop rewarding drama with visibility)
Abandon the social media algorithm (don’t let Xitter dictate the news cycle)

Por qué nunca ganarás a los #trolls
¿Cómo contrarrestar a los trolls en Internet si se supone que no debemos contestarles?
1) No te metas. Cada contestación es una RECOMPENSA para el troll. Discutir dentro de su marco es reforzarlo.
2) Re-enfoca el tema desde tu punto de vista y tus valores. Apóyate en datos, y argumenta desde tus valores.
3) Bloquea. Lo que más temen los trolls es que pases de ellos.
