Coffee and Nuance Live with Tom Coffey Live show from Portland, Oregon.

Dismissal Branding is a rhetorical strategy used to discredit or shut down debate by applying a dismissive label to an individual or group that questions or critiques an accepted narrative. This term describes how a specific label, such as "denial" or "conspiracy theorist," is applied in order to cast doubt on the credibility of the speaker, often without addressing the substance of their argument. By branding someone with a dismissive term, their position is effectively sidelined, and further discussion is discouraged.
