Spot on with this. That kind of neurolinguistic programming is at the heart of propaganda. Honestly, that's why I don't like the word "pizzagate," aside from the fact that the "-gate" thing is tired as all hell. When you get away from words like that and instead be more specific, it makes it harder for people to engage Dismiss.exe so quickly.

Sure, they'll dismiss anyway, but the internal tension adds up when they're hit with more detail and specifics rather than just made up words.

I'm trying to upvote you but it's not working.

How about "child-fucker-gate". No way to mis-associated or conflate that.
