Feeble rhetorical analysis so far as it just assumes an ethical system friendly to modern Progressive politics. Subsequently, there is no basis provided for the reader to distinguish between why alleged reactionary rhetoric is deleterious.
Three rules so far (none are specifically reactionary):
Define and Disavow
Weaponize Victimhood
Build Reactionary Utopias
Label opponents extreme

The final rule is "Misdirect by blaming a convenient cause"
The list of rules totals to five and none are particularly unique to right-wing rhetoric. Bebout simply just asserts that these techniques are more likely to preserve the status quo ante. He really doesn't produce any evidence of this though.
