“allow 20 million illegal crapheads to exploit your tolerance, sack your coffers, and rape and murder your women”
Emotionally charged language ('crapheads', 'sack your coffers', 'rape and murder') where more measured descriptions of immigration concerns exist, used to maximize outrage.
“Or you can pretend that when Jesus says, love your neighbor, he means sexually mutilate your children so they can delight in being the gender of their choice right up until the moment they commit suicide.”
Leverages moral outrage and disgust to persuade the audience that the opposing position is monstrous and absurd, using emotionally charged framing to foreclose nuanced consideration.
“The only person you can trust is me because I'm on a mission from God.”
Explicitly elevates the speaker's own trustworthiness above all alternatives, foregrounding personal authority and divine mission as the basis for credibility.
