Using your opponent& #39;s framing is a dangerous tactic. Here, Biden is adopting Trump& #39;s framing of a nation at war with itself. For Biden to benefit from this, swing voters & undecideds will have to believe that Trump is responsible for the violence. https://twitter.com/drjennings/status/1300265201594400768">https://twitter.com/drjenning...
Given the absurd delusions under which a large swathe of America seems to operate, it is possible they will instead blame "the left" & run to the "law & order" party.
This is exactly what I warned about in this thread. Biden is now in an arms race with a fascist about who is the best placed to maintain "law & order", while also being linked to an imaginary left. It& #39;s the worst of both worlds for Biden. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1300258464170758144">https://twitter.com/realDonal...
This is a far better way to frame the topic -- rather than generic law & order "both sides" statements, it makes clear that the *real* problem is white nationalism & explicitly links that to Trump https://twitter.com/JustinAHorwitz/status/1300280977202257921">https://twitter.com/JustinAHo...
As I predicted in this thread, by using a right-wing "law & order" framing, Biden & Harris played into Trump& #39;s hands. In their rush include the left in their condemnation, they& #39;re playing on the right-wing& #39;s home court. https://twitter.com/feliciasonmez/status/1300551844356337668">https://twitter.com/feliciaso...
