RJeremy's view on immigration


I want to shortly describe RJeremy's Ethos. Here's a man who uses relatively good logic. He uses good logic to prove his point on the article, but he lacks one important point. He does not establish his Ethos. From his absolutely ridiculous picture, to the end of his article, he gives his audience very little, if any reason to trust him. In turn, because of this, I am sure that his audience will be less inclined to listen to his argument. Now it would be bad enough to see a picture of a man who already seems to have little respect for his country, but then he continues to poke fun at candidates, which his audience of Americans voted for. Of course, he is allowed his opinion and his own freedom of speech, but his audience will most certainly not see any credibility behind his words. Instead they would only see the picture of a fat deranged poser, posing in front of an American flag, trying to give them advice on how they should run their country. Without an eloquent establishment of ethos I would much rather that an individual just kept his freedom of speech to himself.
