A ton of different facets here. Among them:
- A little window into the consultant-driven “how can we best manipulate the voters’ perceptions, what ‘messaging’ will be most effective” way that DC looks at trying to win elections
- A little window into the wildly malicious kinds of corruption that can infect that little ecosystem
- The whole strategy of “we’re going to tell you what the ‘enemies’ believe, and then why it is wrong” even when absolutely none or almost none of the ‘enemies’ are actually saying that, is of course as common in mainstream politics as it is on Lemmy. And of course, it works quite well in both places.



The more fundamental problem is the “latin” part.
