How to push people right or left, political mind games

Rush bashing liberals, the liberals say we're not like that and so even they get pulled rightward instead of saying everything he says about us is true. The more they insist they are not pro-abortion the more obvious it is they are but they get sucked into Rush's rightward vortex and will say things like abortion is a bad thing, I don't know anyone who is for abortion, do you? never met the guy, must be a psycho or something to be for feticide. So you go against the criticism by moving in the direction of the critic and the same thing happens to the conservatives, the more the libs paint them as rabid anti-abortionists the more reasonable, dare I say, liberal they become, "oh no, even if Roe is overturned tomorrow rest assured most states will still allow the procedure and the whole country was moving in the direction of, em, reform on abortion policy, wait a minute, did I just say reform."

  3. You see the conservatives have done this just recently to the Democrats over their threat to cut off funding for the whole war, it worked. As soon as you are put on the defensive over what just yesterday was your clear-cut position you then get pulled more towards the critic's line of thinking, say porn is mindless garbage and the producers will highlight its supposedly erotic and artistic side. Very rarely does a person defend his original position wholeheartedly and this my friends is one of the secrets of politics. Why this principle doesn't work in marriages is another matter.
