@jonmladd @mattyglesias We have maybe come full circle. Here, I draw on @mattyglesias to make the point that messaging doesn't have big effects. https://t.co/qEZ2i6XfNw
Words are not magic. That was the argument of my @PolBehavior article "The exaggerated life of ‘death panels'": https://t.co/3YltyEmNu1 Here's a summary from the @washingtonpost: https://t.co/Ud8Ml4pDAS

But that's about a presidential campaign's broad theme. In competitive environments with both sides messaging, evidence that messaging can demonstrably move public opinion is far more limited. 5/ https://t.co/LcOaWfonS2
At the same time, while advocates often point to pro-ACA messaging as a failure, we take a dim view of messaging's ability to make laws durably more popular. (More evidence on that here: https://t.co/LcOaWf6Mts )
Another lesson: the content of the law is ultimately more influential than how you communicate about the law. Lipstick something something? (That draws on my 2018 @PolBehavior piece, "The Exaggerated Life of Death Panels?") 6/ https://t.co/LcOaWf6Mts h

And no, ACA views wouldn't have differed much if the Democrats had used different messaging. That's the point of this @PolBehavior article I published a few years ago: https://t.co/3YltyE4EfT https://t.co/fLRZkCZwtN
The language Americans use to explain their opinions proves generally stable, although there is also evidence that the public adopts the language of both parties’ elites symmetrically https://t.co/eXZHGlNZRp #SocSciResearch
@DeanLacy I vote not the public: https://t.co/LcOaWfonS2 https://t.co/R67KkpXdF6
For example, @dhopkins1776 looks at distance between word use in Senate press releases and mass use in open-ended survey responses https://t.co/0gI7dgKFgE https://t.co/tXcNn6vHYM

@paulkrugman says "no" & I agree. In 2018, I published an article in Political Behavior showing that messaging in the 2009-2010 health care debate had a much more limited impact on public opinion than is commonly appreciated: https://t.co/LcOaWf6Mts 2/
Genuine q: what's an example where American public opinion has been durably moved by messaging & not the underlying events? I thought the ACA debate would be example #1, but in this @PolBehavior article, I found little evidence messaging moved opinions
