That “rare use” you describe is something I associate with Tumblr mostly.
Trying to emulate Mein Kampf as much as possible
My phone often does this when I use voice to text. I guess I speak in Capital Letters.
He’s trying to be relatable to his base, who are notoriously undereducated/uneducated.
They keep using that word. I’m not sure it means what they think it means.
