    The Tyranny of Labels

     

    The GOP has mastered and effectively controls the minds of many a minion through the Tyranny of labels.

     

     

     

     

    The Formula= Label, Brand Build, Deflect

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    It works like this. Simply Label it, label everything, and then affix the selected negative connotation regardless of whether it is reality based or not...then build the brand...by repeating it ad nauseum. Then a primary underlying strategy of defelection is employed. They simply point the finger at the Democrats for labeling everything to mask their labeling factory working three shifts around the clock.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    I could list hundreds of labels that are repeated over and over again...and those repeating it have little or no knowledge of the subject matter beyond the label and the connotation...and when confronted they often counter with more labels ... this is the the state of the GOP's conversation with the world.
