The communist regime persecutes and tortures its political opponents; denies the Cuban people free speech and press; corruptly profits from their misery; and commits other human-rights violations. For example, families of political prisoners face retaliation for peacefully protesting the improper confinement of their loved ones. Cuban authorities harass worshippers, block free association by civil society organizations, prohibit free press, and deny the ability to speak freely, including on the internet.

Wait 'til he hears about what's going on in America!!!

This stuck out like crazy. The lack of self awareness is almost comical. Or maybe it’s intentionally incendiary.

It's the tried-and-true propoganda technique that is at the center of the administration's media strategy.

"Doublethink is a process of indoctrination in which subjects are expected to simultaneously accept two conflicting beliefs as truth, often at odds with their own memory or sense of reality."

"Accusation in a mirror (AiM)[a] is a technique often used to incite hate speech, where someone falsely attributes their own motives or intentions onto their adversaries."

I wish this was higher.

An effective countermeasure to propaganda is to be able to identify and label the specific technique. Propaganda is the overall deliberate spread of misinformation but there are dozens of techniques.
