My idea of "driving the agenda" is when people or groups seize on an idea and push everything toward that idea whether it's relevant or logical. Taking things out of context and using it to fit a narrative. Only telling one side of a story. Confirmation bias. Echo chambers. People who don't care to see another perspective because they don't agree with the subject. Like, I can disagree with someone about something but also see why they see it the way they do.

There is not just one thing that goes into "driving the agenda". It's passive and aggressive. It's words and images. Campaigning is the ultimate. Sometimes more than one agenda is being driven. We see it all the time here.

The lunatic Cori Bush is driving the defund the police agenda which is also a progressive left agenda. To say she isn't is false. Both sides have an agenda and both sides drive it using everything they can to accomplish their "mission".

JMHO

Well said. I would add to that the left does it with assistance, or at the very least lack of criticality, from the media.

Thanks. And you're right about the media. My husband was watching a Tucker Carlson clip on youtube and I had to walk out of the room. The man can be correct or factual in what he is saying but has to add the insults or condescending tone to up the ante. It's just as tiring as the rest of them with their overt worship of the left. 

I tell people their opinions aren't found in the bible. Opinions shouldn't be found in the news.
