How to earn true rhetorical authority

It is a little bit.

But rhetoric is a REAL thing. NOT FAKE.

Not the kind you get from getting attention for:

stoking fear

tending to hate like it is a rosebush

being loud

making people angry

hurting people

telling lies

inciting violence

tearing down institutions

shattering socially beneficial norms

covering up sex crimes

calling women reporters "Piggy" when they ask you questions you're too cowardly (or your lawyers have told you that under-no-circumstances-no-matter-if-there-is-a-gun-to-your-head-are-you) to answer

and on

and on

and on

and on

and on.

So how do I earn TRUE rhetorical authority?

Do you trust that I am sincere, informed, sharp, and ultimately, possibly RIGHT?

If your answer is yes, you've asked me to speak.

And

you

will

listen.
