Drew Harwell: 作为一名科技记者，我注意到特朗普政府正在利用表情包在社交媒体上宣传其驱逐出境政策。这种做法始于特朗普上任之初，并在各个政府机构的官方账号上广泛传播。这些表情包的内容通常带有嘲讽和残酷的意味，例如嘲笑哭泣的被驱逐者，甚至将移民描绘成非人类的“外国入侵者”。我认为，特朗普政府的目的是通过这种方式重塑关于驱逐出境的叙事，使其更加幽默和大胆，从而改变人们对移民问题的看法。他们认为，只要能够引起足够的关注和参与度，即使是负面的关注，也是一种成功。然而，民意调查显示，公众对特朗普在移民问题上的表现并不满意，这表明这种策略可能并不像他们想象的那么有效。我认为，我们应该认真对待这种现象，因为它是一种政治宣传手段，旨在影响公众舆论，并最终改变政策走向。作为媒体，我们有责任揭露这种策略，并引导公众进行批判性思考。

Shownotes Transcript

The Trump administration's anti-immigration campaign has become defined by distasteful memes that gleefully portray the mass deportations being carried out across the country. It’s impossible to ignore… which is exactly what the administration wants. 

Guest: Drew Harwell, tech reporter at the Washington Post.
