Are they constantly imagining that they are talking to UNREASONABLE individuals?

I do not come from the US, but in somewhat lefty or centrist spaces I can’t see this style.

    It’s like they’re submerged in a world of text-based begging letters. Take a faith healing correspondence, a soupcon of charitable dontaions, and a dash of chain letters. For a modern twist, blend in signs from homeless people.

    Whatever the motivation, when one person is desparate enough to try and persuade you to just give your money away, there’s a tone. If you grow up in that world, I imagine there’s a lot of reinforcement that seeps into daily conversation.
