You're right, reason seldom trumps emotions, particularly when those emotions are parsed in hysteria and hyperbole. The enemies of humanity found out years ago the power of concentrated whining.

AN EMAIL I’D LIKE TO SEND OUT TO ALL MY CONTACTS
Just read Bernays or any NLP book ;-)
Even my kid can do some of it now!! The hard part is UNdoing it.
Like hypnotic suggestions, one can live ignoring them, but that isn't the same as having erased them.
There's also an interesting book = Language of the Third Reich: LTI: Lingua Tertii Imperii by Victor Klemperer.
I'll check it out, language is a big part of control. Klemperer sounds really familiar.
I suspect his more famous works are his "I shall bear witness" diaries as a Jew in Nazi Germany. Truly, astonishingly lucky - he was SAVED by the Dresden bombing.
Bernays' book is part of my collection. I've read it several times.
