Abstract in brief
- Moral arguments in American politics often fail to persuade those with opposing views because speakers typically rely on their own moral values rather than understanding the morals of their audiences.
- Reframing political arguments to align with the moral values of the opposing side makes these arguments more effective in persuading them.
- The research, conducted through six studies on issues like same-sex marriage and universal health care, shows that appeals matching the audience's moral values increase agreement and influence opinion change.]

All these examples have something in common. People chose to use language or act in a way that they thought against how THEY would act/understand. There's clear evidence that this is how people talk about politics, and when you change that....bam. 10/ https://t.co/vLvn6wMs4P
