Our results have practical implications for communication specialists and political campaign managers. Our study indicates that simply relying on repetition as a persuasive tool might not always be crowned with success. Message characteristics—notably, negativity—have to be considered in the planning of a campaign because they influence optimal exposure frequencies. Indeed, the optimal number of repetitions may be different in real-life campaigns because of the lower attention of the audience and interference from additional factors. Nevertheless, message negativity may still influence the effects of repeated exposure in actual campaigns, and communication specialists should thus consider this factor when piloting their messages. In particular, communication specialists should take into consideration that negative or attacking campaign ads may backfire, especially if voters are confronted with identical negative ads several times within a short time interval.

How ironic would it be that the very tactic they plan on using for “messaging” may also contain its own contradictory death? Dialectical much?

Repeat early and repeat often and repeat till people want to vomit.

Equal and opposite reactions and what not.

It seems there's a panic by Republicans (and only Republicans it seems) over CRT. And the reason for that, says the pioneer of CRT, is that White Americans have fear and anxiety it due to the changing status of White Americans because of it.

So, us White folks are just scared that we're losing our "status" to Black people. We're just trying to hold on to what used to be our majority.

Really ? Well at 76% White I just don't see that we're not still the majority race in the US.

Then you should seek professional medical attention because your faculties are severely compromised

And do yourself a favor, cut yourself off from corporate media - it is disconnecting you from reality and sanity


PS: and if the Marxists ever did succeed in their neo-Communist revolution, have absolutely no doubt that blacks would be among the first victims they would line up against the wall. As OG Hebert Marcuse historically stated in 1969, "The ghetto populations may well become the first mass basis of revolt", and once they are no longer useful, well, we all know what Marxists do to each other eventually without exception

It's hilarious, all these extremist far left media outlets are trying to talk this under the rug and failing... in JULY. School is not even back in session yet, September is going to be absolutely insane. I look forward to their rationalizations when parents in 50%-democrat school districts come out with pitchforks for the school boards in 90% numbers

This is just another in a long list of controversies created by conservative wordsmiths to foment more division. They have succeeded again.Half the people complaining have no clue. CRT is just something bad the commie liberals are doing to ruin the country.

They think they have a winner in their claims about CRT, Fox News and some of the GOP congress members drone on 24/7. CRT bans around the country in red states, reminds me of the bans on Sharia Law.

And Sharia Law absolutely should be banned from making real-world judicial and legal decisions. Otherwise you end up with Muslim enclaves throwing gays off the top of rooftops. If you want to ban a Muslim from your mosque, fair enough. Anything beyond that has no business existing in the United States of America. Setting rigid bans and rules is quite useful because Islam is built to replace the government wherever it is prevalent. Explicitly telling the Muslim community, "No you can't do that here." is a useful step to set appropriate boundaries.

CRT is a non-theistic religion. You preached to. You are told how you should feel and act based upon your skin color. A white person is expected to "deconstruct their whiteness" and "become less white." The root of all evil in CRT dogma is whiteness. And the really tricky thing about CRT is that it's advocates are constantly playing hide-the-ball with it. Anytime anyone says, "CRT is _____" they simply say, "No it isn't." But those advocating for CRT refuse to clearly define what it is.

That's probably the biggest strike against CRT. We don't know what it is. Nobody will just come right out and tell us what it is. So why would we allow a complete unknown to be taught to anyone by public institutions??

Here's what CRT and CRT adjacent activists have to say for themselves:

And Tim Pool did a long-form interview with a mom who went and got as much information about what was being taught as possible.

But if you think that CRT and the ideologies are beneficial and good, how about this. Sell me on the idea. Why is it a good idea??

I don't agree with either Sharia Law being used in the legal system or CRT being taught in schools, banning something that doesn't exist is senseless.
