    But that’s the exact danger, if we don’t craft our propaganda and rallying calls to suit the audience who aren’t in the lingo loop that we’re in, then we’re never going to break out of the insulated community to reach coalition partners in actually implementing the change we need

      The right has no trouble getting support with “remigtation” and “mass deportation” I’m tired of trying to woo liberals. I’m happy to be extreme in an effort to shift the overton window

        I admire your will to shift the overton window, but right wing phrases don’t have to make sense, so we kind of have a different bar to clear here

        You just raised two examples of the right expressing exactly what they want to do to defend using terrible slogans that don’t actually convey what is really intended as policy.

        Other people being better communicators than you does not justify intentionally continuing to be a bad communicator, especially when you’re trying to oppose them being a better communicator with bad faith intentions.
