Reactionary messaging is based entirely on a rotating series of tropes:
-Dirty hippy
-Ungrateful youth
-Nasty woman
-Scary non-white
-Evil degenerate
Ideally the tropes can be combined.
This is why they are so obsessed with lying about college Gaza protests, it allows the right to push dirty hippie, scary minority, and ungrateful youth all at once on an issue that has little public traction (foreign policy).
Most ppl don't care about the policy either way, so the tropes are what they see.
