Silent Supporters and Strategic Narratives
This chapter examines the phenomenon of 'shy Trump supporters' who conceal their political affiliations due to societal stigma, contributing to Trump's electoral surprise. It critiques the manipulation of public perception by prominent figures, particularly regarding narratives like Trump as a 'Russian puppet,' and explores how these tactics mirror foreign intervention strategies in domestic events. The discussion extends to critique the perceived manipulation of social and political issues in the U.S. and their connections to international agendas, emphasizing the importance of rhetoric in shaping political discourse.
