A self-proclaimed Trump supporter and Christian, Ensing has long been vocal about her political and religious views on social media. Users on both the left and the right were quick to condemn Ensing's Jan. 6 comment, with fellow influencer Gabriel Zamora tweeting, 'this is entertainment to you?' and others questioning Ensing's religious convictions. In addition, social media users have denounced Ensing for 'blackfishing,' or pretending to be black or mixed-race online for personal gain.

Addendum the short - presented by Ekpunobi (with help from her co-conspiracy theory fantasists) - imagines a #MetaphorThreatGeneralisedNonSpecific, which they position in #MetaphorThreatExistential terms. Significantly, the piece attempts to strengthen an emerging #OrgSyndicateAccordConservativeEcosystem (composed of business people who are ideologically invested in a #TheoryIndividualismSelfActualisation) while also, seeking to #LiteralMessagingPersuasionAdvertising (or perhaps more aptly, #BeliefTheismProselytise) the short's audience into the ways of #PoliticsCapitalismLaissezFaireFreeMarketFundamentalism. In doing so, then piece begins with Ekpunobi offering up her #MetaphorConfessionOfTheReformed (of Ekpunobi seemingly #MetaphorBlindnessDeafnessVsSeeingHearingTheTruth through rejecting #BehaviourTolerance i.e. so-called #TauntWokeness in favour of what appears to be some version of #TheoryPoliticsOfFearAnxietyOfVictimisation crossed with #ConspiracyTheory_CulturalMarxism). In doing so, the short seeks to concretise (what #IRLHistoricalFigureKarlMarx might understand as a form of #TheoryReification [Wikipedia] ) where a contemporary cultural phenomenon (what #IRLSociologistAndreasReckwitz understands as #TheoryHypercultureHybridity) as a so-called #MetaphorWarfareCulture - perhaps, what #IRLScholarErvingGoffman might understand in #TheoryFrameAnalysis terms as some sort of 'frame shifting' - where such a phenomenon takes on the form of a #MetaphorWarfareFactionalism / #MetaphorWarfareBattleFight staged by people invested in #TheoryIndividualismCompetitive, which is replete with #MetaphorWarfareHero.s and #MetaphorWarfareEnemy.ies (or, perhaps more aptly #MetaphorPretencePantomimeVillain.s). The short includes aspects of #PhenomnCulturalFormGenreDocumentaryTravelogue [Wikipedia] (through including references to Ekpunobi travelling to #ToponymAmericaNorthUSTennesseeNashville and #ToponymAmericaNorthUSFloridaOrlando). Through its choice of interview subjects, the piece somewhat seeks to imply that the we are in the midst of a #MetaphorTransformationSeaChange [Wikipedia] brought on by the #MetaphorGenerationTheYounger overthrowing the #PoliticsStatusQuo (instead of the reality, that the piece is aimed at #IdentityConservativeYoung who are much more likely to be resistant to social change efforts).

@MistiWoodiwiss [name pseudonymized] [ontology] : Jeden Tag beim Durchlesen der Timeline wird mir immer wieder bewusst, wie Recht doch Vince Ebert mit seiner Einschätzung hat. Vermeintlich intelligente Personen leben in ihrer bequemen moralinsauren Welt und wähnen sich bei den #Guten #woke #keinemedienkompetenz [URL redacted]
"Every day when reading the timeline, I realize how right Vince Ebert is with his assessment. Supposedly intelligent people live in their comfortable moral acidic world and think they are with the good woke - no media literacy" #IRLComedianVinceEbert
"The evolutionary psychologist William von Hippel discovered that humans use a large part of their intellectual capacity to find their way in their complicated social world. Why is my boss looking so weird today? What does my neighbor's innuendo mean about my new car? Is the waitress flirting with me or is she just being friendly? Our 'social' brain also checks facts from time to time. However, the question that is much more important to it is: what are the social consequences if I do or say this or that? So we have a mechanism in our heads that, when in doubt, even tells us prevents us from thinking what is right when in return it endangers our social status. This phenomenon becomes more prevalent the higher a person's social and economic status. Educated and/or wealthy people are more concerned about what others might think of their opinions. Because they have an academic reputation or a good professional position to lose. What's more, the more educated and smarter a person is, the more adept his brain is at selling him the biggest piece of nonsense as a reasonable idea, as long as it raises his social status. As a result, the upper educated middle class tends more to hang behind any intellectual crazy ideas than ordinary people. The American data scientist David Shor found in extensive studies that educated people hold more ideologically coherent and more extreme views than working-class people. Taxi drivers, cleaning ladies, craftsmen or warehouse workers often have much more connection to reality and common sense than professors, teachers and higher officials. The ideological follower sits less at the regulars' table and more in the lecture hall." #IRLPsychologistWilliamVonHippel #TheorySocialWorlds https://folksonomy.simonperkins.co.uk/?permalink=4006 #IRLScientistDavidShor #IdentityClassBlueCollar
Supplementary "populating one's field of vision with imaginary threats might offer a sense of purpose, which life in suburban America does not always provide." https://www.nplusonemag.com/online-only/online-only/two-days-talking-to-people-looking-for-jobs-at-ice/ #OrgUSFedGovImmigrationAndCustomsEnforcementICE #PhenomnBanality #1963_EichmannInJerusalem #BehaviourWanderlust [Wikipedia] #MetaphorThreatGeneralisedNonSpecific #NarrativeSenseOfPurpose
Addendum Ebert's explanation above is presumably comforting for those who aren't (according to his characterisation) 'educated and/or wealthy' or who have 'high social and economic status' - people, who as he characterises, are: 'taxi drivers, cleaning ladies, craftsmen or warehouse workers' i.e. that such explanations are used by those who have no hope of achieving success (financial and/or social) to bolster their confidence. And in doing so, presumably such a reaction is part of a broader strategy to dismiss criticism in an effort to reconcile a sense of personal failure becoming become manifest through retorts such as #ReasoningFallacyConfirmationBiasIToldYouSo. In this sense, the phenomenon seems to function as a type of #PhenomnCautionaryTale or perhaps, a version of #TheoryPsychologyPsychologicalPurgationCatharsisHamartia [Wikipedia] where the threat of succumbing to "intellectual crazy ideas" provides a desired relief. #TheoryPsychologyInferiorityComplex #TheoryPsychologyDefenceMechanism [Wikipedia] #BehaviourInjuryFeelingRessentiment_ [Wikipedia] #TheoryAffectiveResponseIndignation [Wikipedia] #ReasoningFallacyPostHocErgoPropterHocPostHocRationalisation [Wikipedia] #ReasoningFallacyOversimplificationCausalReductionism [Wikipedia] #_Focal

#IRLScholarRuthWodak "Far-right populist parties thrive whenever there is a crisis. They either construct or exaggerate a crisis or instrumentalize existing crises. They create unreal scenarios of threat and danger, and then they position themselves as the only party and the only politicians who can save 'us' from this crisis and danger. In this way, they first create fear and then hope. This is an interdependent pattern. Which is, of course, not new, which has existed for many, many centuries; but they are very clever at employing this pattern." https://www.populismstudies.org/prof-ruth-wodak-i-am-very-worried-about-the-future-of-europe/ #PhenomnPopulism #TheoryPoliticsOfFearInstrumentalisingCrisis #MetaphorWeaponisation

Supplementary #AdvocacyNLClingendaelInstituteMarkElchardus "The causes of the contemporary wave of populist successes? These can be largely explained by declinism, the feeling, shared by many, that their society is in decline, that many of the valued things are being lost or even wilfully destroyed. Many people hold the 'political establishment' responsible for the supposed decline, and therefore become susceptible for populism. Using the example of the inaugural speeches of American presidents, this article also illustrates how declinism is concretely used to argue in favour of the main populist propositions." https://www.clingendael.org/pub/2017/3/declinism-and-populism/ #TheoryDeclinism #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPPOTUSDonaldTrump

"The reason Hollywood celebrities are so negatively outspoken about Trump is because, over the next few years, when the politics part is done, they will be exposed as belonging to a sinister secret society who have been working to hurt and undermine us instead of entertain us. Once loved icons will not be able to work again, or even be seen in public without being mobbed and screamed at by angry and disgusted citizens. This is why they hate him. pedowood" #ConspiracyTheory_ #MetaphorThreatGeneralisedNonSpecific #OtheringElitesHollywood #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPPOTUSDonaldTrump
Supplementary "celebrity involvement in democratic politics is problematic because celebrities possess significant levels of epistemic power (roughly the power to influence what people believe) that is unconnected to any relevant expertise. This, they argue, creates a problem for deliberative and epistemic theories of democratic legitimacy, as these theories do not take this form of power into account. It is also a problem for any democracy attempting to live up to the ideals articulated by these theories, as this is a further challenge any society must overcome in order to meet these ideals."

Addendum the comment alludes to the #ConspiracyTheory_NewWorldOrderNWO of #OtheringElitesHollywoodHollyweird (and the supposed infiltration of #IdentityJewish progressive values). The post appears underpinned by the #ConspiracyTheory_CulturalMarxism far-right #OtheringHateAntisemitism conspiracy theory. The poster attempts to vilify the group using the #PoliticsConservatismSocialSoCon #PowerControlViolationPaedophilia.

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).

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
