“We are seeing the largest slave trade in American history happen on our southern border”
Superlative framing ('largest slave trade in American history') for immigration enforcement policy uses maximally charged language where more precise alternatives exist.
“And people just kind of shrug their shoulders because they're mad about slavery 300 years ago, but they're perfectly fine with slavery if Kamala Harris endorses and sponsors it.”
Leverages moral outrage by equating current immigration policy with slavery and then accusing the public of shrugging, exploiting shame and anger to persuade against Harris.
“And people just kind of shrug their shoulders because they're mad about slavery 300 years ago, but they're perfectly fine with slavery if Kamala Harris endorses and sponsors it.”
Nudges a causal interpretation that opposition to immigration enforcement equates to indifference to slavery, imposing a reductio frame that goes far beyond the evidence presented.
