Tropes are narratives that often rely on symbols or myths to inform beliefs in politics and political science.[citation needed] John S. Nelson argued in 1998 that tropes were not examined enough, and that being more aware of them would improve political discussion and debate.[1] In 2021, Renée DiResta argued for prebunking health misinformation tropes as a way of reducing the spread of misleading information.[2]
