Taxonomy of DJT's Tweets

[QED]

Thought this sums it up well:

Link to tweet

1. Lakoff left off "constipation".

But since everything that 45 does can also be linked there, I suppose it's a given.

2. Bout it

[Bernardo de La Paz]

3. Excellent post! Kicking, rec'ing, & saving graphic. Going to link & bookmarking graphic. Here it is.

[QED]

4. I saved it too

Lakoff gave Chris Hayes (I think it was Hayes) a guide to framing DJT's lies the other day: State the true statistic/story etc. then bring up what DJT said. This minimizes the lie.

I can't find a link to the piece but did find this article by Lakoff. He says"

"The key lesson: when we negate a frame, we evoke the frame."

<snip>

"Why? Because, in order to negate a frame, you have to activate it. Frames, like all other ideas, are constituted by neural circuitry in the brain. Every time a circuit is activated, its synapses get stronger. When you negate a frame, you help the other side.

Avoid repeating the charges! Instead, use your own words and values to reframe the conversation. When journalists protest that they are “Not The Enemy,” they should remember how well “I am not a crook” worked for Nixon."
