There simply is no target audience for propaganda of the below nature. Anyone who “needs convincing” is aware of the Israeli study finding natural immunity 27-times as effective at preventing symptomatic COVID-19 compared to the Pfizer vaccine. Further, the notion that antibodies targeting one particular element of a virus would be more effective than antibodies created to fight the virus in its entirety does not pass the smell test.
So why bother? Well, whether the propaganda convinces anyone or not becomes irrelevant when the policymakers have already built in an assumption that the propaganda will work. It’s a part of the machine; it just happens to be a part that, when broken, doesn’t immediately stop the machine, but rather causes the machine to slowly break apart.
Democrats generate a new authoritarian policy goal
Twitter runs propaganda in support of this new policy
The propaganda convinces no one
Democrat leaders assume the propaganda is working
Democrats enact their authoritarian agenda, overestimating its propaganda-driven popularity
What does this mean in real terms? There is no item in the Authoritarian’s Handbook stating that your persecution needs to be popular. President Biden’s approval rating can continue to tumble and people can continue to march in the streets, and the policies won’t be erased. So the massive disconnect in the Democrats’ perception of the authoritarian agenda’s popularity vs. its real popularity may appeal to the following:
1) Biden’s “compassionate side” (hello – are you in there? You are eradicating thousands of people’s livelihoods)
2) The emotional judges – this is where Black Lives Matter is critical
3) The midterms
