“listening for the happy sound of children singing Christmas carols so they can hunt them down and stop them”
The word 'hunt them down' is maximally charged language applied to left-wing opposition to Christmas, where a neutral description of political opposition would not carry the same violent connotation.
“listening for the happy sound of children singing Christmas carols so they can hunt them down and stop them”
Leverages moral outrage and disgust by framing left-wing opposition to Christmas as child-hunting, exploiting anger and indignation to persuade the audience that the opposing side is aberrant.
“If he was anti abortion, if this shooter was anti abortion, does it suddenly become right to inject poison into a baby and then pull his body out of the womb piece by piece and sell those pieces for medical?”
Frames the abortion procedure in maximally graphic and one-sided language to redirect interpretation — that calling the shooter 'anti-abortion' is itself a moral absurdity, while selectively omitting any alternative framing of the motive.
