A political candidate gives a speech to a group of veterans. She wears a blue suit, a white blouse, and a red scarf. She uses the words "our proud flag," "freedom," "liberty," and "honorable service" multiple times.

What propaganda technique is the politician using?

this propaganda technique is best identified as glittering generalities; the political candidate is using colors to evoke images of the flag, which is associated with america and, therefore, patriotism. she's also emotionally appealing by using the words that carry a strong connotation in our country--"freedom" and "liberty" specifically--because people automatically believe them to be positive and will think of her highly even if she's offered no evidence of truly caring about the freedom or liberty of people.
