Analysis Factors

Confidence
False Dilemmas 1/5
No presentation of only two extreme options.
Us vs. Them Dynamic 1/5
No explicit 'us vs. them' dynamics; the phrase lacks group identifiers or division.
Simplistic Narratives 2/5
Mild implication of poor choice vs. safety, but too vague for good-vs-evil framing.
Timing Coincidence 4/5
Searches reveal the phrase spiking on X during Jan 24-25, 2026, ICE protester shooting coverage (e.g., Alex Pretti), aligning with major news on Trump's deportations but appearing as organic right-wing response rather than distraction from other events like Gaza talks.
Historical Parallels 2/5
Superficial resemblance to protest victim-blaming (e.g., past riots), but web/X searches found no propaganda playbook matches or state-sponsored patterns.
Financial/Political Gain 3/5
Aligns ideologically with pro-Trump enforcement supporters on X (e.g., 'MAGA' bios), benefiting political narratives against protesters, but no specific actors, funding, or paid ops identified in searches.
Bandwagon Effect 1/5
No claims that 'everyone agrees' or social proof invoked in the brief content.
Rapid Behavior Shifts 3/5
Phrase surges in X replies to recent ICE deaths (Jan 24-25), creating momentum in pro-enforcement discourse with influencer amplification, but no astroturfing evidence.
Phrase Repetition 4/5
X searches show clustered use of exact phrase across independent accounts replying to same ICE incident posts (e.g., 'should of stayed home' under Pretti videos), suggesting shared talking points amid news cycle.
Logical Fallacies 2/5
Potential hindsight bias implied ('should of stayed home'), but too brief for clear fallacies.
Authority Overload 1/5
No experts or authorities cited.
Cherry-Picked Data 1/5
No data presented at all.
Framing Techniques 3/5
Uses casual, grammatically informal phrasing ('of' instead of 'have') to convey blame or regret, biasing toward victim responsibility without evidence.
Suppression of Dissent 1/5
No mention of critics or negative labeling.
Context Omission 4/5
Crucial context omitted entirely—what event, who, why stay home—rendering the statement incomplete and open to interpretation.
Novelty Overuse 1/5
No claims of unprecedented or shocking events; the phrase is a common idiom with no novelty emphasized.
Emotional Repetition 1/5
No repeated emotional words or triggers, as the content is a single short phrase.
Manufactured Outrage 1/5
No outrage expressed or implied beyond a simple statement; facts not disconnected as no details provided.
Urgent Action Demands 1/5
The content contains no demands for immediate action or pressure to respond.
Emotional Triggers 2/5
No fear, outrage, or guilt language is present; the single phrase 'Should of stayed home' expresses mild regret without emotional triggers.
