My two cents...

ISIS and Trump messaging playbook

8/11/2016

If you compare ‪#‎ISIS‬ and ‪#‎Trump‬'s messaging, you will notice some frightening similarities. It's as if they are both using the same playbook

- both are capitalizing on abstract nostalgia (Make Islam great again vs make America great again)

-both are emboldening a marginalized, due to their hate, group (Jihadists vs white supremacist)

- both label and dehumanize other, therefor justifying their ill treatment (Kafirs or disbelievers/infidels vs Moozlums/Mexicans/Refugees)

- both blame an ill defined, foreign enemy-(The west vs the immigrants)

- both offer simple answers to complex questions- (Build a caliphate vs build a wall)

- facts don't matter to either (every single Islamic teaching vs every single fact)
​
- both are false prophets (guy with a big beard vs a supposed, self made billionaire)
And the list goes on and on....
