“a communist revolution that is picking up steam, that is accelerating”
Describing domestic policy disagreement as a 'communist revolution' picking up 'steam' and 'accelerating' uses maximally charged language where a neutral description of political opposition exists.
“will cause mass starvation”
Amplifies threat and danger to the audience's well-being by framing a policy proposal as a starvation catastrophe, maximizing fear response.
“And this is under attack from within by a communist revolution that is picking up steam, that is accelerating. And her latest proposal will go at the core and the essence and will cause mass starvation.”
Nudges a causal story linking Harris's grocery pricing proposal to communist revolution and mass starvation, well beyond what the evidence presented in the passage supports.
