          In the direction of blaming someone.

          In this case, that terrible moussemonger Harry Styles.

        Propaganda goes both ways.

        Ex.: guns cause violence. It’s a classic Dem. talking point. (And highly ironic that they say, “no one needs a gun, just call the cops!” out of one side of their mouth, and “police are the oppressors of the working class and are the enforcers of systemic racism!” out of the other.) And yet we’ve just seen two terrorist incidents in the past week and a half that involved cars. Do rental trucks cause violence, maybe? I know I would be filled with rage if I was forced to drive a vehicle made by Musk’s company…

        p.s. - LGBTQ+ and nonwhite gun ownership rates are increasing, and I am so there for it.

          No, it’s the same way.

          Even if I allow your example, which I wouldn’t, the “propaganda” in question is still - blaming someone for something.

          That’s what ALL propaganda does. That’s why the Dems can’t use it very well. First of all blaming people for things is a classic conservative characteristic.
