Lakoff on the women's marches

Speak of the devil from this post, Lakoff analyzes Twamp's inauguration speech. Twamp used populist rhetoric more reminiscent of Sanders or Warren. But as we know it is all lies based on Twamp's history and what he's done so far as President-elect and President. So we know that this sort of framing works and it works well.

Twamp not only related to all those poor white folks that are hurting due to a rigged economy, but he also knows that we need to hold someone accountable for it. Those of us with half a brain know that it is in fact the likes of Twamp and his billionaire ilk that caused these conditions. So like Warren and Sanders we not only have to frame the progressive value of care but to direct our anger at the true enemy of the people, the Twamp creatures.
