Answer:

Emotional propaganda

Explanation:

There are five different kinds of propaganda:

• Bandwagon
• Testimonial
• Transfer
• Repetition
• Emotional words

In Emotional propaganda, words are employed to create emotions in the minds of people, either good or bad. There are various ways by which words are used in emotional propaganda:

1. Glittering generalities: These are vague, logical fallacies.  An example could be, “It's fine” There is no exact specification of what's fine.
2. Stereotyping or labeling: In this, direct name-calling is used as an attack on an opponent.
3. Demonizing one's enemy is another way this propaganda is also used. This is aimed at creating negative emotions concerning a oerson in the mind of another.

Other ways this propaganda manifests are black and white fallacy, quote out of context and plain folks.
