Supplementary #EDUUSUniversityVirginiaTechMattGabriele ^[skeet] "Those claims by the Right, however, seem at first glance to not make sense. They state that they represent the will of the people and want to terrorize those they consider 'tyrants.' And yet, they themselves have tried to overturn a legitimate election and more recently enacted sweeping voter suppression laws across several states in order to cement their own hold on power. In addition, the Right and their enablers rush to stake out absolutist positions related to 'religious liberty' or 'freedom of speech' but then cheer on (or directly use) state power to limit just those liberties and freedoms they purport to support. For example, they assert 'liberty' to discriminate against the LGBTQ+ community, and assert 'freedom' to legislate against mask-wearing during a global pandemic or to ban the teaching of history they don't agree with. ... Over the course of 1792-94, the avatars of the 'will of the people' continued to narrow. It was no longer the legislature as a whole, composed of hundreds of delegates that embodied the 'will of the people,' but it specifically became the Committee of Public Safety led by Robespierre. He vocalized the public will and embodied the public good so that those who disagreed became existential enemies of France herself who needed to be eliminated. Hence, we wind up with the Terror -- denunciations and mass executions of perceived enemies both at home and abroad. The Terror, Furet argued, was only ended when Robespierre lost control of the discourse and no longer embodied the public will, so he himself became a threat and was executed. Contemporary America hasn't, of course, reached its own Terror. But the parallels between the modes of discourse in the late eighteenth- and early twenty-first centuries are striking. The Right has adopted an authoritarian mode of discourse because they think they embody the will of the people, the nation itself, and so are the only legitimate political actors." https://prof-gabriele.medium.com/on-guillotines-and-the-american-right-de0343b72341 ^[Wikipedia] #WebsiteFiveThirtyEightNateSilver "'But I have a theory about how they missed the Trump train,' he continued. 'They don't hang out with regular folks like us who like to hunt and fish and pray and actually work for a living. Heck, I don't even know that they know how to talk to people from middle America.' #ConspiracyTheory_StolenElectionBigLie #EventRepublicanNationalCommitteeRNC ^[Wikipedia] #IRLPersonalityTelevisionWillieRobertson https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Gg2dTFu2sc&t=105s #CatchcryTrumpTrain #OtheringElitesMedia There's been a lot of this talk at the RNC, about 'real' Americans and 'regular' Americans and how they're the ones who make America great. ... These politicians, implicitly and often explicitly, usually have certain people in mind when they refer to 'real Americans.' They often mean white people without college degrees -- the so-called 'white working class.' They usually mean practicing Christians. Their examples usually refer to people in the South or the Midwest -- not East Coast elites or West Coast hippies." https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/only-20-percent-of-voters-are-real-americans/ #OtheringLegitimacyRealAmericans #EpistemologyAgnotologyBased #IdentityClassBlueCollarWhite

Addendum easy to make such statements - more difficult to substantiate them. I wonder then, what are the supposed 'violated gun laws' (listing them off)? And what impact did the existing laws actually have i.e. how did they hindered/fail to hinder the shooter? And rather than fatalistically dismissing the whole idea of regulating gun ownership - what laws would actually work i.e. what is a constructive way forward?

Addendum in this context is meant to symbolically send a message to other #ConspiracyTheory_CabalQAnon conspiracy theory-believers and Trump followers of some sort of 'truth' about Trump (through contrast with Obama). This kind of tweet could be seen as a #MetaphorDogWhistle to #CharacterisationTrumpsBase.

Addendum Trump represented as some sort of modern-day #BeliefTheismDeityGodAllahYHWHJesusChristMessiah / beacon of light in the 2020 US presidential race (although, apart from the #BeliefTheismChristianityCrucifix above Trump's name - I have no idea what the steam-train symbolism is meant to communicate - perhaps something about progress?). I can only assume that the train refers to #CatchcryTrumpTrain - using alliteration as part of some sort campaign slogan, where "Each tweet is referred to as a "train car" and sometimes the train cars have numbers. Users included in each train car tweet are called "riders" and there are "conductors" that organize each train and dedicate a great deal of their time on Twitter to this activity" (Erin Gallagher, 16 September 2019) https://medium.com/@erin_gallagher/trump-trains-84bea1c3170d "trains" can be used metaphorically to refer to coteries of support: ^[commentary] https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2019/04/what-the-end-of-the-mueller-report-means-for-qanon.html Mention of 'Train' in the Bible: ^[bible] #MetaphorBiblical #MetaphorWarfareHeroSaviour versus #MetaphorThreatGeneralisedNonSpecific #InvectiveBullShitBS #CatchcryEnoughIsEnough

Supplementary #NMUSNationalPublicRadioNPRGeneDemby "People invent new words for emotionally charged referents, but soon the euphemism becomes tainted by association, and a new word must be found, which soon acquires its own connotations, and so on. [...] Even the word 'minority' -- the most neutral word label conceivable, referring only to relative numbers -- was banned in 2001 by the San Diego City Council ... because it was deemed disparaging to nonwhites. ... The euphemism treadmill shows that concepts, not words, are primary in people's minds. Give a concept a new name, and the name becomes colored by the concept; the concept does not become freshened by the name, at least not for long. Names for minorities will continue to change as long as people have negative attitudes toward them. We will know that they have achieved mutual respect when the names stay put." https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2014/11/07/362273449/why-we-have-so-many-terms-for-people-of-color #IRLScholarStevenPinker #2002_TheBlankSlateTheModernDenialOfHumanNature ^[Wikipedia]
