The sentence "My opponent is a monster who cannot be trusted to govern!" best represents the following two propaganda techniques:
-
Dehumanizing the enemy - Referring to the opponent as a "monster" strips them of their humanity, portraying them as something evil and untrustworthy.
-
Ad hominem attack - This is an attack on the character of the opponent rather than addressing any policies or qualifications, suggesting that they are unworthy of governance based solely on their personal character.
So the correct answers are:
- dehumanizing the enemy
- ad hominem attack
