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....
