roofs aren't being repaired, meat isn't getting processed, because immigrants are too afraid of ICE to come to work.

It also helps them to have no compunction about lying.

It seems that the distinction is subtle: tRump's flights are military aircraft instead of passenger aircraft.

Much more expensive but crueler, so from his nibs viewpoint it is worth the expense.

And just as Germans were indoctrinated to believe nothing but Nazi lies, so too have Americans been indoctrinated to believe Republican lies. I do not know how this ends, but the next few years will be more of the same.

It's also shameful, sick, and twisted.

That type of propaganda is also known as fast propaganda - instant impact for its intended audience. Hits hard and fast for a powerful impact. Slow propaganda is meant to inculcate/indoctrinate ideas over time.

Also, it is an example of propaganda of deed - because of its psychological effect. Said effect enforces a lasting retention of emotion/feeling.

You see the photo of "undesirables" boarding a plan in chains and if you support such things, you cheer - that cheer being an emotional response that is
now psychologically driven home.
