    Trump is going to have “a mass deportation of criminals”.

    So he is going to deport himself.

    Can't be bothered with that so asked an AI.

    This propaganda meme is flawed on several fronts, and here's how you can break it down:

    1. **Misleading Statistics**: The numbers given (e.g., a 1,500% increase in murder) are designed to shock without providing necessary context. A percentage increase can be very high if the initial numbers were very low. For instance, if there was one murder in 2021 and 15 in 2024, that would be a 1,500% increase, but it's still just 15 incidents.

    2. **Correlation vs. Causation**: The meme implies a direct link between Kamala Harris's policies and the supposed rise in migrant crime, which ignores a multitude of other factors that could be at play, such as economic conditions, policing changes, or broader societal trends.

    3. **Selective Time Frame**: The choice of 2021 as the starting point is not arbitrary. This was the first year of the Biden-Harris administration, and by choosing this point, the creator of the meme can attribute any increase in crime to their policies, without considering trends from previous years.

    4. **Lack of Source Transparency**: The source cited, "U.S. Customs and Border Protection," is very vague. There's no direct link to data or context on how these statistics were gathered. Propaganda often uses vague citations to seem credible while avoiding scrutiny.

    5. **Emotional Manipulation**: The meme uses emotionally charged words like "EPIDEMIC" to provoke fear rather than present a reasoned argument. This is a classic propaganda technique meant to override critical thinking.

    6. **False Equivalence**: The quote from Kamala Harris about undocumented immigrants not being criminals is juxtaposed with crime statistics, implying she supports criminal behaviour. This is a straw man argument that distorts her stance by falsely equating her support for immigrants with condoning crime.

    You can explain that the meme is designed more to provoke an emotional reaction than to inform, and it relies heavily on out-of-context statistics and misleading visuals.
