Shapes your opinion before you notice — charged words bypass critical thinking.
Makes you lower your guard — false authority and manufactured kinship bypass skepticism.

This episode of The Andrew Klavan Show uses 41 influence techniques across approximately 44 minutes. The most prominent patterns are Loaded Language and Framing.

“We're talking about whether there is such a thing as reality, inner and outer, or does the state get to control it?”
Establishes a civilization-scale binary (reality vs state control) as the interpretive template through which all prior discussion about transgender policy must be understood.
“kick them to death in front of their weeping children, and then hurl their broken bodies back across the border while shouting, This is for the Alamo, you brown skinned witch”
Extremely charged and graphic language ('kick them to death,' 'weeping children,' 'broken bodies,' 'brown skinned witch') used as a satirical exaggeration, but the charged wording itself functions as loaded language in the persuasive framing of Trump's proposals.
“Trump's spokesmen now say there may not actually be a deportation force that will drag Mexican mothers from their homes, kick them to death in front of their weeping children, and then hurl their broken bodies back across the border”
Presents the most extreme possible interpretation of policy changes as the sole lens, selectively framing any modification of stance as concession to absurdity while omitting the actual policy details.
