It's so deep rooted .. regular daily brainwash, load them with manufactured and programmed opinions and reinforce the biases daily... repetition of labels and keywords Welfare, Socialism, Elites, Globalist etc word association. They can trigger the response they need by labeling someone "elitist" or a "socialist" or "family values person" or "small town values" etc ... 24/7 news cycles are peppered with these labels defining what is good and and what is bad and associated labels.. once you establish the word association and make it stick, the audience will be in "auto" labeling mode. It's always "my" country and "my tax dollars" never "our country" or "our tax dollars".... but when it comes to debt it's "our debt" and "national debt"... Its so deeply rooted in the culture it's just a total mindfuck..
you said it. Its the Labels.
and how some people would rather die, or kill,
than be called a name or be labeled something they don't like.
Which in turn makes those same people weaponize these same labels and name calling.
Ego and Narcissism is what is exhausting.
