On that terrible day, September 10th, 2025, our greatest evangelist for American liberty became immortal. He's a martyr now for American freedom. Do you know you are part of something bigger than yourself?
Loaded Language Emotionally charged words like 'terrible day', 'greatest evangelist', and 'immortal' are used to provoke strong emotional reactions rather than convey neutral facts — for example: terrible day, greatest evangelist for American liberty and He's a martyr now for American freedom.
Glittering Generalities The phrase 'American liberty' is used as a vague, emotionally positive concept to elevate the subject without substantive meaning — for example: American liberty and American freedom.
Transfer The subject is framed as an 'evangelist for American liberty', borrowing the authority and reverence of both religious and patriotic symbols to validate the person — for example: greatest evangelist for American liberty and martyr now for American freedom.
Bandwagon Appeal The rhetorical question implies the reader should recognize they belong to a larger collective movement, pressuring conformity through the idea of being part of something greater — for example: 'part of something bigger than yourself'
Appeal to Fear The question subtly implies that failing to recognize one's role in this larger cause means being left out or missing something critical, creating mild anxiety to drive engagement — for example: 'Do you know you are part of something bigger than yourself?'
You know that you are part of the most exciting, diverse, powerful movement in the history of this country. This movement is about the citizens versus the oligarchs. This movement is about we the people versus the ruling class.
Bandwagon Appeal The sentence asserts the reader is already part of a massive movement, implying widespread participation to pressure conformity and belonging — for example: 'you are part of the most exciting, diverse, powerful movement in the history of this country'
Exaggeration/Hyperbole The claim that this is the greatest movement 'in the history of this country' is an extreme superlative unsupported by evidence — for example: 'the most exciting, diverse, powerful movement in the history of this country'
Glittering Generalities Vague emotionally positive descriptors like 'exciting', 'diverse', and 'powerful' are used as rhetorical flourish without substantive meaning — for example: 'most exciting, diverse, powerful movement'
Black-and-White Fallacy The sentence frames society as a binary conflict between only two groups — citizens and oligarchs — eliminating any nuance or middle ground — for example: citizens versus the oligarchs and we the people versus the ruling class.
Name Calling The label 'oligarchs' is used as a derogatory term to discredit a group rather than engage with specific arguments or policies — for example: 'the oligarchs'
Appeal to Prejudice The phrase 'we the people' invokes in-group identity to distinguish a virtuous populace from a villainous out-group — for example: 'we the people versus the ruling class'
Transfer 'We the people' borrows legitimacy from the U.S. Constitution's preamble to lend authority to the movement's framing — for example: 'we the people'
Repetition The phrase 'This movement is about' is repeated across sentences 2 and 3 as a rhetorical device to reinforce the framing through familiarity — for example: "This movement is about".
This movement is about America versus the globalists. This movement is about all of us against them. One of my favorite sayings of the Bible in Hebrew is hane.
Appeal to Prejudice Frames the conflict as 'America' (in-group) versus 'the globalists' (out-group), exploiting national identity to create an us-vs-them divide — for example: America versus the globalists and all of us against them.
Conspiracy Appeal The term 'globalists' implies a shadowy, coordinated out-group working against ordinary Americans, a common conspiracy framing — for example: the globalists
Black-and-White Fallacy Presents the situation as a binary conflict between America and globalists, leaving no room for nuance or alternative positions — for example: America versus the globalists and all of us against them.
Repetition The phrase 'This movement is about' is repeated from sentence 1, reinforcing the framing through deliberate rhetorical repetition — for example: This movement is about
Transfer Invokes the authority and reverence of the Bible to lend legitimacy and moral weight to the speaker and the movement — for example: One of my favorite sayings of the Bible in Hebrew
Here I am. It means Lord use me. What are my marching orders?
Abraham at the binding of Isaac. He said, "Lord, here I am." Moses at the burning bush. Lord, here I am.
Samuel, Isaiah, here I am. It means give me the orders. Here I am, Lori Houston.
That's a lot of people you call. He transformed the face of conservatism and in doing so he changed the course of American history. You still live in the greatest nation ever to exist in the history of the world.
Exaggeration/Hyperbole The claim that one person 'changed the course of American history' is a sweeping overstatement that elevates an individual's impact beyond what evidence typically supports — for example: he changed the course of American history and greatest nation ever to exist in the history of the world.
Glittering Generalities Vague, emotionally positive superlative language used to evoke national pride without substantive argument — for example: 'the greatest nation ever to exist in the history of the world'
There is still so much to be hopeful and to be thankful for. Have that posture. Here I am.
I can't wait to see how this whole story plays out. The stakes are high. We have only begun to fight.
