You don't want it to be exciting to call her crooked. You want it boring, par for the course, mundane, as obvious and boring as calling water wet, or including the gir in giraffe.
It's not Trump the personality people support - even though the left believes that - it's the, if I may steal from my own tagline stolen from Ayn Rand, it's the law of identity - and to give the credit to Trump - the courage to stand on that in the face of mobs who want to destroy you for doing so. What destroys enlightened cultures, and is the absolute foundation of propaganda is saying and repeating and then enforcing with law and at gunpoint that A is B.
In a culture where identifying A as B is regularly accepted without question (men are women, Islam is a religion of peace, if you like your plan you can keep your plan, criminals are justice involved individuals, trespassers are dreamers, self defense is racism and a hate crime, it's whites that don't value black lives even though it's blacks taking 96% of them) ... it is the most refreshing thing in the world to merely call a boat a boat - and only that - or maybe a floating boat, a plane a plane - an only that - or maybe a flying plane.
'Crooked Hillary' in a normal world would be as mundane, obvious and redundant as saying a 'flying plane.' In ours, it's the only source of truth for thousands of miles. It's as if in the US you can no longer say 'a plane flies, a boat floats.' Crooked Hillary completely lacks cleverness or complexity, that's why it works. It works because everyone already knows it but the propaganda machine tries to drum it out of your head - ultimately they want you to relinquish your ability to distinguish between the rational and irrational, and if you don't do it willingly, they will punish you. At the basis of all rational thought is the law of identity - A thing IS what it IS - otherwise, anything is anything (and that's what we have now - the left knows this - the individual instances of saying A is C are merely cult training modules).
So - Crooked Hillary - I say give the clear fresh water a chance to just be boring, clear fresh water. The name is the same as saying 'Hillary Hillary' or 'Crooked Crooked'.
Americans need to practice A equals A until it's habit, unconscious. Trump is conducting clear thought kindergarten.
"What's this little guy with feathers saying quack, little Jennifer?" ... "That's a duck!" ... "and what's this furry 4 legged guy that says 'bark" ... "That's a ... DOG!" ... "and who's this selfish sociopathic criminal murderer and liar?" ... "that's Crooked Hillary Clinton!"
It has to be at a child's level, not for us, but for 40% of the country who need the medicine, the simple lessons. This is medicine for a very very very sick population of humans who have mostly relinquished their combination of Will applied to Rational Thought.
Excellent analysis. Most insightful post of the day so far, my friend!
