Evaluate Tweet

Us vs. them framing

Within the statement, the author is imputing the goal of another person or group.
The statement attributes an idea, policy, argument, action, blame, or responsibility to an entire group or subgroup rather than a specific person or to a specific person without justifying why it belongs to that person. (Example: “Democrats are soft on crime.”)

Tribalism

Trigger words are words that have the effect of triggering people rather than encouraging thought or discussion. Those words have a loaded connotation behind them and whether or not it was intended by the author, the loaded connotation of those words outweigh the productive effect those words have on the conversation.
Using epithets in a taunting or childish manner to delegitimize the person about whom the statement is referring to.
The statement references a group or person by a name which is negatively perceived.

Labeling

Labels are words that identify a specific theory, practice, or philosophy (ex. racism, socialism, etc). They can be applied to policies, groups, and people. Due to the connotation of labels and what they represent, using a label implies a “pre-packaged ideology” and can bypass the rational debate of a policy’s benefits or drawbacks. A Tweet that uses a label breaks this rule, even if the author also discusses the effects of a policy or actions.

Trigger words

The statement suggests a judgment should be made or action taken based on how the reader feels about the people associated with the issue, entity, or group, instead of making the same judgment or taking the action based on the thing on its own terms. (includes calling for support for a particular candidate simply because of his/her party affiliation, rather than their policy positions)
The statement suggests that a judgment or action should be made based on group identity instead of the ideas. (Can be applied where an individual who represents a group is being used in place of the group entity itself.)
