Trope (politics)

Tropes are narratives that often rely on symbols or myths to inform beliefs in politics and political science.John S. Nelson argued in 1998 that tropes were not examined enough, and that being more aware of them would improve political discussion and debate.[1] In 2021, Renée DiResta argued for prebunking health misinformation tropes as a way of reducing the spread of misleading information.[2]
