(14,549 posts)The Right uses this tactic often now because it is so effective at dividing people, or keeping them divided. The tactic is: Put your (bogus) argument into the terms and parameters that your opposition most often uses.
It falsely sells GMO as a response to climate change, implying that to be against GMO is to deny science that seeks to address the challenges of ongoing climate change. It is bullshit of course because for example, GMO corn for ethanol can't really be an "alternative fuel" since it relies on petroleum for its production (plus 10% ethanol reduces your MPG by 10% so it is garbage).
If the Left adopted this tactic we would say things like:
"Outlawing abortion, same gender marriage and MJ are over reach by big government. Those who support these ideas are against freedom and liberty."
or perhaps,
"Jeb Bush is a big government insider who's brother presided over the largest expansion of government power, size and deficit spending in history."
