A Culture War How To 0
David makes a strong case that the culture war can–methinks maybe even should–be viewed as a conscious tactic to stoke division and distract the polity from what’s going on behind the scenes. He summarizes the process as follows:
-
1. You identify a perceived threat to traditional values.
-
2. You exaggerate the threat.
-
3. You demonize the “other.”
-
4. You use that to galvanize the base and distract from everything else.
