I had to watch that clip twice because I thought it was fake with the way she was speaking lol.

Her manner of speaking reminds me of the sermons you get at 'modern'/nondenominational churches here in the south. Just the way phrases are timed, the intonation, the need to make every minute factual statement sound emotionally profound...

I have to wonder if she is consciously trying to speak in that way. I don't know why they would think that was a good approach for a political speech lmao. It's just so bizarre I can't actually process it.

It’s a good approach because their base is open to it. They are used to listening to that cadence and inflection with openness and willingness to swallow whatever poison is in the message, and that conditioning makes it so that the content doesn’t matter, only the delivery.

I doubt she even recognizes that she’s doing it too. She’s just used to authority with a microphone speaking this way and so she does it too. It’s exactly how I used to be before I got out.

Yep. The same bunch that would buy the qtarded conspiracy theories, or fall for Satanic panic, or that Jaysus is going to come back any day now and start up some bad fan-fic ala Left Behind is totally going to eat this drivel up with a spoon.

She's just acting. You can see the crazy in her eyes. She's literally insane.
