This is how to counter dog-whistle rhetoric. There is something to a good story that deeply engages us. Bragging and boasting are primitive too, but at the end of the day we integrate plot and drama into memory. Sometimes listening to Rachel is like listening to a skilled teller of sagas whose climactic arcs have yet to be told. So learn to build tension, create narrative, and make memorable your campaign speeches, and we can all finish writing a satisfying ending to this saga
