@TheConversationUS Even back in the Reagan administration, liberals tended to talk in paragraphs, conservatives in quick repetitive macros.
In the 90s Newt Gingrich and his allies weaponized it by calling any opponent who dared rephrase a dry, old, statement an inconsistent flip-flopper. Nuance and style were bred out of the GOP's rhetoric in favor of blunt repetition.
Now, repetition is all that matters, not truth, falsehood, or sound argument. Sloganeering without soul.
