#TauntWoke is intended as a negative characterisation meaning something like, "uppity" or "you think you're too good for us" (which suggests that the poster's motivation is that they feel challenged/insecure - and so need to go on the offensive). #OtheringElitesLiberalHollywood #MetaphorConformitySheepSheeple #OrgClassifPPUSDemocraticPartyNancyPelosi

Supplementary "Propaganda is a type of communication built for warfare. It is communication as a kind of force, a weapon in itself. War propaganda typically focuses on us versus them, emotional appeals, conspiracy and other tactics designed to erode the confidence of the enemy or build the confidence of one's own side." https://www.justsecurity.org/77078/the-propaganda-playbook-a-section-by-section-dissection-of-tucker-carlsons-communication-strategy/ #PhenomnPropaganda #NMUSFOXFNCTuckerCarlson #TheoryAffectLimbicResponseAmygdalaHijack
Addendum The repeated reference to 'they' implies that the author has no agency of their own - an admission that someone else holds all the power. The statement symbolically represents a parent-child relationship, where the author is the 'child' and the 'they' is the parent. Such appeals set up a false dichotomy between 'us' and 'them' - where 'we' are right and 'they' are wrong. It's a simply binary designed to appeal to your emotions rather than your sense (and because of its clichéd nature, is most likely intended to appeal to someone who isn't particularly well educated).
