The objective of the discourse is not to sway entrenched voters, but rather to appeal to swing voters, typically the minority. The propaganda focuses not on major offenses, but on perceived inconsistencies and injustices involving Vice President Harris. Specific points include her marijuana use despite prosecuting 15k marijuana cases, allegations of suppressing exculpatory evidence in death row cases, and prolonging sentences to exploit cheap labor. These issues particularly resonate with minority communities who often find themselves targeted in such situations. Instances such as wrongful arrests based on stereotypes ("I smell marijuana, step out please") and allegations of evidence tampering further fuel the current wave of pervasive messaging.
People might dismiss these concerns as naive, but the ongoing high-profile trials, such as the Karen Reed case alleging systemic framing and the YSL Rico case highlighting prosecutorial bias and judicial misconduct, are extensively discussed on social media. These narratives, depicting authorities as deceitful and manipulative, effectively capitalize on the insecurities of swing voters from minority backgrounds.
