Political manipulation often works by substituting performance for substance – a bill that never passes, a hearing that never leads to action, a crisis staged to redirect attention.
Bring an example where the theater was the point. Separate what was said from what was done. Name the mechanism: displacement, distraction, fear-framing, identity-targeting, or something else.
Cite sources for factual claims. Opinion belongs to the person posting it. Do not treat party loyalty as evidence or disagreement as bad faith.
