Climate “Communicators” Discover the Best Way to Persuade Voters is to Lie to Them
17 hours ago Charles Rotter

This is a hilarious X (formerly Twitter) thread on a presentation about “messaging over climate”.

Worst messages tested: electric cars, Green New Deal, frontline communities, ‘Big Oil lied’, climate pollution


Talking about electric cars especially deadly for Democrats. Women in particular frightened of battery running out. (Interesting gendered spin on range anxiety I hadn’t thought about before).

The thread quickly jumps to the best messages ever tested, all of which are outright lies, out of context projections, or fantasies.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
