That is precisely the emotional button push manipulation that racist comments push. Fear factor.
The Latinos are taking over. Regular Christian all American white people are under threat from the hoards of people from other what?
Endangered and under threat.
Why stoke fear in voters?
There is an interesting French cultural anthropologist by the name of Clotaire Rapaille. He charged corporations a pretty sum of money on how to tap into an emotion or a psychological state of mind that galvanized people to spend money out of fear of NOT spending the money. He calls it tapping into the reptilian brain. Survival. Who is keeping you from being able to get your basic needs met?
Where is the threat? How to combat it? Interestingly Trump did hire Rapaille for some project. How does one tap into fear as a primary human emotion.
Issues of identity and territoriality and this is 'mine'. It is primal stuff. Goodall talks about chimp groups who really go berserk over 'foreign' chimps invading their home territories. Chimps in general are highly xenophobic. Because? You are in competition for water, food, access to mates, access to social recognition and social structures of security.
How would a capitalist have to introduce a human group to a non-native society and get them to accept, not accept, compete with each other or not compete?
Which emotions do you need to tap into and which approach is effective in getting the desired behavior?
All of this has been explored in depth in such fields as advertising, marketing, campaigning and political messaging. Nothing new there.
Fear is a great asset to manipulate in politics.
