THE "EMPTY" ASSERTION: THE DEMAGOGUES BEST FRIEND, AND THE FOUNDATION FOR "CONSPIRACY THEORIES." 5/22/2024 UPDATE.

 WHAT IS THE MOST ESSENTIAL PART OF TRUMPSPEAK?

"EMPTY" ASSERTION-  ANY STATEMENT, (WRITTEN OR ORAL), THAT CLAIMS TO BE FACTUAL, BUT HAS LITTLE SUPPORTING EVIDENCE OR DATA THAT CAN WITHSTAND PROPER SCRUTINY.  In many cases, the act of criticizing the Assertion is discouraged, AND IT MUST BE ACCEPTED WITHOUT QUALIFICATION.




THE EMPTY ASSERTION works best when it feeds into preconceived ideas and conclusions. It allows those with little Intellectual Evidence to support their opinions on certain issues, to make "FACTUAL CLAIMS" that are not based on the Rules of Logic. 

It gives the Opportunist the chance to prey on the Prejudice and Irrationality of those who don't want Reality and Truth to keep them from forcing their own brand of "TRUTH" on everyone else.

Some examples might include;

-  Inventing a causal relationship between certain groups, that their place of Birth or National Origin automatically indicates the Increased Chance that they are likely to carry a communicable disease. This is done without actually researching the statistics to back up this conclusion with 
factual data.

-  That the belief in the Existence of a Right according to Constitutional Law is found not to be Valid by Judicial Decision, will lead to an immediate Government crackdown to eliminate any trace of the Subject Matter ruled on before the Court.

-  That an Accusation of MORAL or CRIMINAL MISCONDUCT, automatically means there is Sufficient Grounds or Evidence to make such a Statement.  In fact, there may be nothing at all. The Accusation is just a Tool to mislead and place an undeserved Tag on an Opponent or Rival Organization.

This is, of course, best exemplified by the TRUMP "ASSERTION" of Election Fraud during the 2020 Presidential Race. There has never been one shred of Verifiable or Testable Evidence of any "CONSPIRACY" to illegally deny Trump an Election Victory. Dozens of Judicial Cases brought by Trump/GOP/FASCIST PARTY OF AMERICA MAKING this claim were literally laughed out of Court. Yet Trumpians still make this ridiculous claim even today. Well, when your hardcore supporters are essentially Intellectually and Morally Vacant, Truth and Logic don't matter much.

Remember, the "EMPTY ASSERTION" does not need to provide any Reasonable Explanation for anything that is said, or claimed to be true.
