Capitol Building In Hillary Clinton's America

Great Essays
In Donald Trump’s political ad Two worlds:Immigration, he uses the fear of terrorism, unchecked immigration, and national insecurity to scare the nation’s Conservative Republicans into voting for him. Trump’s fear mongering starts the ad off with depressing piano music and a candid side view photograph of Hillary Clinton cast in shadows looking downward. Her expression is cold, detached and calculating. This photograph has been altered to look dark and sinister like a thunder storm, leaving the background blurred and so dark that only one thing can be seen, the silhouette of the capitol building - also cast in shadows.
The building looks gloomy and uninviting. Depicting the capitol building in such a state, demonstrates the corruption and shadiness that would supposedly operate within the building under Hillary’s care. The angle of the capitol building in relation to Hillary portrays her looking down upon the national symbol of government, as if she believes herself to be above the law.
The male narrator speaks in a harsh and almost alarming voice, “In Hillary Clinton’s America..” A flash of light then flicks across the screen like lightning, as if to emphasize the sense of desolation and despair that would occur in “Clinton’s

Men, women, and the elderly are dressed in coats and scarves which make them look like travelers. While at first the scene just looks like a chaotic mess of people, upon closer scrutiny (and due to the blurriness of the video) the people are faceless. This creates and leaves an uneasiness about these strangers. A black quote box pops up in the middle of the screen. It reads: “Hillary Clinton: U.S. should take 65,000 Syrian refugees”. The sound of confused strangers talking and yelling become background noise as the narrator continues. “..Syrian refugees flood in..” the narration supports the thought that Hillary Clinton would let this “flood” of faceless strangers come unchecked into

    In a time full of political controversy with Donald Trump’s radical views on immigration, the rejected 84 Lumber Super Bowl commercial for 2017 crashed the company’s website due to its controversial portrayal of immigrants. With Donald Trump describing immigrants as rapists and drug dealers, always sending their worst, his relationship with the immigrant community was on thin ice. Trump’s views divided a nation. On one hand, we had the die hard conservatives cheering on Trump’s outrageous ideas, while on the other hand, we had liberals and democrats infuriated with the idea of a bigger wall. It was not a fix to the political issue of illegal immigration, but rather a bandaid.…

    Dinesh D’Souza’s Hillary’s America is an information book that candidly demonstrates the sordid history of the Democratic Party and how the Democratic nominee for the Presidential Election of 2016, Hillary Rodham Clinton, personifies that history. Instead of writing in a manner which disguises the truth, the author provides the facts of the situation without aggrandizement. The originator of the Democratic party was Andrew Jackson, who later became President himself. On various occasions, Jackson embezzled territory from the American Indians out of his own financial ambitions and avarice; as D’Souza says in Chapter 2: “Jackson was a ruthless con artist who became fabulously wealthy by trading on his political office”. As Jackson seized property…

    “The basic tool for the manipulation of reality is the manipulation of words. If you can control the meaning of words, you can control the people who must use the words” (Philip K. Dick, 1980). We humans can be easily manipulated by words of someone. Words can be structured to target a certain audience, where the language used is varied depending on where it is being presented. We can see this in political speeches, where certain words are used with the specific purpose to give value to the audience.…

    Bush’s campaign ad highlights the stable and steady handling of tragic national events during his first term by using images and provoking feelings of sadness experienced that day. The ad shows images of the American flag waving steadily among the rubble and chaos at ground zero while you see only remnants of the building in the background. In the days that followed the falling of the World Trade Center, Bush went on to visit ground zero and made comments that comforted America in all aspects. The weeks following September 11th, President Bush’s approval ratings went up to 86% and Americans seemed more open to the idea of using military force to deal with terrorism (“Bush and Public Opinion”).…

    The 1992 Presidential election pitted incumbent President George Bush against the Democratic party’s candidate Bill Clinton and Independent Ross Perot in a contentious campaign. Bush had garnered the votes of the American people in the 1988 election under the pretense that taxes during his presidency under no uncertain terms, or as he famously stated “Read my lips. No new taxes”, would rise. Bush soon breaks this oath to deal with the rising deficit, this action resulting in a lasting effect on his popularity and perceived trustworthiness. Clinton ran his campaign almost primarily focusing on this pitfall of the president, using his abundant airtime to discuss the state of the economy.…
