The rhetoric is extremely combative, critical, and urgent, employing strong emotional language ("blatant corrupt scheme," "arrogant and cynical bunglers," "obvious looting project"). It focuses on accusing opponents of lying, corruption, and violating the constitution, contrasting the government's "propaganda" and "lies" with real life. It often uses irony, labeling (e.g., "liberal terror," "woke activists"), and comparisons (e.g., North Korean news broadcasts, anecdotes).

The rhetoric is predominantly combative, sharp, and critical, frequently employing emotionally charged words ("crazy talk," "criminal," "bungling") and accusing opponents of hypocrisy. It stresses moral and national appeal, contrasting "the wise people" with the government's "follies." Rhetorical questions and references to Kaja Kallas’s previous promises ("read my lips") are repeatedly used to discredit opponents. Obstruction (10-minute recesses) is utilized as a means of political protest.
