As the son of a scholar of linguistics, Pete Buttigieg shows that he understands the power of deceptive sophistical propaganda, and frequently uses of the word "security" as a major theme, being mentioned 27 times in his position page, from "climate security" to economic security to security from intimidation under the guise that his policies are virtuous. He likewise also often the opposite as causing "harm," such as in portraying The [[Religious Freedom Restoration Act]], saying it "appeared to me to be a license to harm others in the name of religion." However, Buttigieg supports punishing those (as a proponent of The Federal Equality Act) who oppose homosexual relations. He also attacks evangelicals as hypocrites for supporting the Republican party (which he asserts) is contrary to Christian faith, while paradoxically evidently expecting them to support him. | As the son of a scholar of linguistics, Pete Buttigieg shows that he understands the power of deceptive sophistical propaganda, and frequently uses of the word "security" as a major theme, being mentioned 27 times in his position page, from "climate security" to economic security to security from intimidation under the guise that his policies are virtuous.
