BLOGPOST ARCHIVES #4: POLITICS BLOGPOSTS (aside from Trump)
Blog posts over the past decade about the effectiveness of politicians using narrative.
In a perfect world, all your favorite politicians would give speeches with tight, well digested and assembled narrative structure. They would score over 20 with their Narrative Index and their And Frequency would be a perfect 2.5%.
Unfortunately, we live in an imperfect world, which gives me plenty to analyze and complain about. Here’s a bunch of posts about various politicians, though all my many posts about Trump are presented separately here.
