I have a hard time accepting any such argument could be "dead accurate". To make such a comparison would most likely require exaggerating specific similarities while downplaying significant differences. In the end, it's either a bad comparison or blatantly dishonest manipulation, and people will respond as they see fit.

In the end, manipulation will just polarize, as the targets of manipulation accept the party line or reject it, which then adds distrust to all information coming from that source.

And here we come to politics...
